It wasn’t too long ago that Pashmina P was a teacher by profession. But her world would radically expand in less than a year after becoming a bestselling author in record time. Her secret, the famed writer shares, is the power of her network. Today, she creates avenues for other authors to thrive on the same ground by creating the Online Author’s Office, a networking platform for writers and other professionals.
Pashmina is a mother, author, and entrepreneur who has experienced massive growth through the help of collaborators and mentors over the years. She started as a storyteller with little to no experience in business, digital marketing, and anything necessary to make a living through her books. But today, she has a wide array of titles on the market that have widened her horizon, increased her influence, and afforded her a comfortable life as a full-time entrepreneur mother.
At the core of Pashmina’s strategy is a well-known secret—the power of networking. She spent years building up meaningful relationships and putting her brand out for people to connect with. She authored a book entitled The Cappuccino Chronicles, which received worldwide renown and a steadily growing readership and was endorsed by a former news anchor from CNN and CNBC. She also got to speak in a TEDx conference in Hong Kong about epiphanies through her writing. In March 2018, the book awarded Pashmina an audience with the Dalai Lama and allowed the author to present the book to his holiness.
While working on her latest title, Red Lipstick Never Hurt Anyone – Get Your Book Marketing in Sync, Pashmina conceptualized the idea for a global community of writers, marketers, SEO specialists, brand managers, teachers, legal professionals, and many others that would serve as a collaboration hub. The goal was to launch more titles into the world that would mimic the success of its founder. Today, that online network, now known as The Online Author’s Office, has created a multicultural membership from three continents, namely Europe, Asia, and North America.
“Time Zones are never a problem for this dynamic team who pride themselves in being present and available for our authors,” shares Pashmina. “The OAO provides writing mentorship, publishing connections, design, layout, editing, media connections and marketing. Our star authors join us for a year to gain the full gamut of services which lead on to branding the author as an authority in their field.”
Apart from authors, Pashmina also helps teachers take their platforms and material to the next level. She currently serves as a curriculum consultant to many institutions and teaching professionals who want to create engaging and impactful materials to mold minds and change industries.
Pashmina remains a steadfast learner, believing that goodness and generosity are the keys to finding true fulfillment. Apart from growing her community and business, she aims to live a life worth emulating, especially for her two daughters, Michellie and Myla. In November, she will be releasing Red Lipstick and hopes that the book will serve budding authors who want to publish their works and shine in the industry.
