Author Interviews
Every book on Salient’s shelves has a person, a dream, and a story behind it.
Our author interviews are here to help readers get to know the indie authors behind the books, from their writing process and favorite tropes to the inspiration, challenges, and little details that shaped their stories.
Whether you’re looking for your next favorite author, curious about the heart behind a book you already love, or simply enjoy seeing the human side of indie publishing, this is a lovely place to begin.
Take your time, wander through the interviews, and meet the storytellers who help make Salient Books what it is.
