Naren Aryal co-founded Mascot Books in 2003 with a single self-published book about a collegiate mascot and zero experience in the publishing industry. When the book took off, he was more than happy to give up his career as a corporate attorney and dive headfirst into the dynamic world of books. Since then, Mascot Books has published more than 2,500 fiction, nonfiction, children’s, and cookbooks and has established itself as one of America’s fastest growing and most respected independent publishing houses.
