Taran was born in London in 1990 and found a passion for reading and writing at an early age, beginning his first book at 9 years old. Straight after graduating with a First Class degree in Business Administration, Taran was keen to 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 ‘The Novice’ 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. The Novice is published by Hachette in the UK and has been sold in 10 other territories. The sample on Wattpad now has over 6.5 Million reads.
