Taran Matharu


UK flag (b.1990)

Taran Matharu was born in London in 1990 and found a passion for reading at a very early age. His love for stories developed into a desire to create his own during early adolescence, beginning his first book at 9 years old.

Straight after graduating with a First Class degree in Business Administration, Taran was keen to explore a new avenue and get inside the publishing world, landing an internship in Digital Sales at Penguin Random House, from June to September 2013.

Thereafter, while taking time off to travel, Taran began to write Summoner in November 2013 at the age of 22, taking part in Nanowrimo 2013.

Thanks to Wattpad.com and updating daily, its popularity dramatically increased, reaching over 3 million reads in less than six months.

After being featured by NBC News, Taran decided to launch his professional writing career and has never looked back.

"Prashanth Srivatsa's The Spice Gate invites readers on a spellbinding journey with Amir, a young Spice Carrier burdened yet ennobled by his unique ability to traverse the eight kingdoms through mystical gates. Srivatsa's storytelling prowess shines, balancing the bitter sting of subjugation with the sweet promise of freedom, making The Spice Gate a must-read for fantasy aficionados."
