Ep. 96 - Tasmina Perry talks writing, pseudonyms and launching her own publishing imprint
2022-02-11
Tasmina Perry is the internationally bestselling author of fourteen novels including Kiss Heaven Goodbye, Private Lives and Guilty Pleasures. Her books have been translated into twenty languages and sold over two million copies worldwide. She is a former lawyer turned award-winning journalist and was editing the UK edition of In Style magazine when her debut novel Daddy's Girls went into the top ten and became one of the biggest selling debuts of the years. She also writes thrillers under the pseudonym JL Butler. Mine - her first novel in that pen name has been optioned by Sony Pictures. Her second JL Butler novel, Unfaithful, is out now.
We had great fun chatting with Tasmina about her unusual route into writing (hint - it involves a random interview with one of Britain's biggest boybands) and how she has made such a huge success of her career. We hear about the importance of planning, why pseudonyms can be good and bad, why she's decided to launch her own publishing imprint instead of signing a new trad publishing deal - and what happened when Donald Trump asked her to ghostwrite for him!
