Preethi Nair
Preethi Nair (born 1971) is a British author of Indian heritage. Born in Kerala, India, she came to the United Kingdom as a child. She worked as a management consultant, but gave up her job to become a writer.
Preethi Nair's first novel, Gypsy Masala, was rejected by several publishers. She then set up her own publishing company and PR agency, Nine Fish, in Northampton, to publish and promote the book.[1]
She created an alter ego, Pru Menon, in order to publicize the book, and went on to sign a three-book deal with Harper Collins.[2] She won the Asian Woman of Achievement award. Pru Menon was shortlisted as Publicist of the Year for the PPC Awards.
Nair's book 100 Shades of White has been bought by the BBC for a television adaptation.
