Publishing Houses in India For New Writers


Your stories, that until now, were only a part of the Word documents in either your Smart phones or computers, and often peeped in parts across your social media accounts, should get a chance of full exposure, so that everyone gets to know what you are weaving within.
If you are a budding writer, or are aspiring to be a novelist, there are a host of publishing houses that will help your story reach out to the people far and wide. Let your story be told! These publishers will help you get a paperback of your book, as well as guide you as to how you can launch an ebook, which is the most common with today’s generation.
Till now only your book-shelves had your favourite authors adorning them. It is time you get a book by your own name and make your family and friends proud. 
Won’t it be nice that until yesterday when you ran after autographs or died to meet your favourite writers, today you get to enjoy that same attention!!
Choose a profession different from the stereotypes and make your mark today. Here is a list of the Publishing Houses in India for New Writers who can help you fulfill your dreams.
·         Harper Collins- They are a brand basically and getting published by them is a dream for any author. However, it is not an easy task for the common people, unless they have passed out from the Oxford or the Harvard.

·         Hachette- They will accept manuscripts only through some literary agents.

·         Penguin- At least they read the queries of the first time authors unlike certain publishing houses. So if you want to get your manuscript read by them, the basic idea is to approach someone who is known to them so that he/she can push their panel of editors to read your manuscript.

·         Rupa Publication- It is generally termed as the “House of the bestsellers”, and our very own IIT’an author Chetan Bhagat is associated with them. They encourage first time authors and read their manuscripts both in paper as well as e-mail.

·         Fingerprint- You can submit your article through a literary agent. They are owned by the publishing distributor known as Prakash books and would give you a huge platform if launched with them.

·         Roli Books- They help the newcomers get a platform and answer all queries if you can connect with them through their Facebook page.

·         Shrishti- They generally charges some amount of money in the form of packages to get your book published. Many of the established youth authors today, such as Durjoy Datta have previously published their work through Shrishti before shifting to bigger brands like Penguin.

·         Leadstart- They respond quickly to first time authors, but they are more inclined towards self-publishing.

·         OM Books International-  They also help the first time authors get a name and face. They generally accept all email queries.

·         Juggernaut Books- They provide a digital platform for the first time authors and will help you reach far and wide. But they do not publish in paperback.

·         Author’s link Publications is a good platform with a good pay that can help you get your book published with a shorter response time.

·         Write India Publishers- It is a publication house helping aspiring authors. They do the editing and proofreading part and also offer cover designs.

·         The notionpress.com helps to publish both paperback and e-book.

·         Woven Words provides a guided publishing platform, and at the same time the Do-It-Yourself Publishing Services to help authors find a platform.

·         Educreation is another premium book publishing house that helps the aspiring authors. They have both print and e-book facility.

To get your work attracted to the publishers, the most important thing you have to keep in mind is that your story should be appealing. It should have a topic that the audience would love to know and read.
 It can be for a target set of readers, but it should be simple and easy to understand and strike a chord of connectivity with the audience. Most importantly it should come from your heart, unless you believe in your story, your readers can’t!!
The real struggle lies in getting one’s work published as a first timer. But after this battle is over, you actually get to feel as if you have conquered the world. Self-publishing is very expensive and many might not be able to afford that. 
So the basic idea is to look for literary agents or approach publishers that are ready to invest in your work, which is quite a mammoth task. Also there may be fraudulent publishers who may extract money out of you, which is a complete “NO” in this field, and never recommended.

Writing Tips – How Much is Too Much?

When it comes to writing a book, you always think, “how much is too much?” thus to decide the amount of how much is too much you need a dispassionate eye, a sense of what the story demands and a sense of pace. The problem here is that you love your story and the way you have designed your characters. You want the readers to appreciate the story, the characters and understand it the way you want them to. However, it is important to guard yourself against the mistake of explaining the story too much. Rewrite your work, excluding every scrap of description. Now how does the story read? If a detail was not necessary, its absence will not be noticed. If you take out all the description of the unnecessary section, you would have a better story. In some genres, the most important element may be the plot and in others it will be the character that will interest the readers. Whatever the genre, however, the story is more than the plot. If your dialog establishes atmo...

Why You Need a Good Publisher?

In the current Indian fiction market, there are indeed very few publishers operating, and quite a lot of these publishers discriminate against writers. This means that more than most of these publishing houses and companies do not give a chance to the new entries in the fiction industry, meaning that fresh and new, trendy content is quite hard to come by, especially from Indian authors.  This simple fact prevents quite a lot of skilled authors, poets, and writers from achieving their dreams and providing the finest writing to the entire world.

What Exactly An Editor Do?

Okay, if you have a mind full of creativity, an eye for detail and a love of language, a profession in editing might be correct for you. There are many types of editors, including copy editors, book editors, substantive editors, proofreaders, etc. but they all have different skills from each other. Like trained editors have very excellent writing and proofreading skills, and may continue to write in their editing mode. All they require is a good judgment to plan what stories should run, and sound leadership abilities to guide. Editors read content and correct grammatical errors, spelling, and punctuation. They may re-write the content so targeted readers may simply understand what has been written. They must confirm cases with standard allusion sources and classify submissions from writers so they can resolve what to publish. Editors work along with authors and assist their content and opinions to succeed by presenting comments, advice, and reward on methods to promote. They ...
