The Literature Times: What encourages you to become an Author?
Bhoopendra Shrivastava: I was encouraged to write the book when I saw that people are generally hesitant to join the English coaching or they don’t have time to do the coaching to improve their English skills.

I have put all the important things together in this book, i.e. basic & advanced English grammar, spoken English expressions, idioms & proverbs, situational conversations and basic & advanced vocabulary. I have deep faith that the book (Quick Step English Grammar & Speaking Course) ends peoples’ quest for a good English language book.

The Literature Times: How easy/ difficult it was for you to publish your book? What message would you like to give to budding authors?
Bhoopendra Shrivastava: To be honest, in the beginning it was very difficult for me to get my book published as I was searching for a traditional publisher to get the book published, but, I couldn’t find any. Then I came to know about self publishing and I searched for a good self publisher online. At last I found Evincepub publishing, located in Bilaspur (C.G.). I contacted with them and they cleared all my doubts and quaries regarding the publishing. Altogether, I can say that it was easy for me to get my book published by Evincepub publishing, as they provided me all necessary support to make it possible.
Actually I myself am a budding author as well. But if you insist, my message to budding authors is that keep on writing and inspire & influence people with your power of writing.
