Discussing Options Of Publishing Your Book

Dear All,

My name is Hersh Bhardwaj and I am a publishing industry professional. Being an author myself, I like to network with authors. We have a large Meetup group in Delhi where a lot of aspiring authors meet and discuss various aspects of creative writing and getting published.

I have attended most international book fairs as part of my profession and one question that almost every author, published or unpublished, puts forth is this-

" What are my options of publishing for my next book?"

This is the second most complex stage of your writing journey. First being the manuscript completion process. So, if you are an aspiring author who has already completed a manuscript, or nearing a completion- You deserve a BIG round of applause! But the second-stage will wreck your brains even more simply because its beyond your control.

How do I approach publishers?

Which publishers are right for me?

What is the right format for manuscript submission?

Is self-publishing a viable option?

Am I supposed to pay the publisher ?

Many queries, such as, these will haunt you to chase Google for answers. There are no right answers, unfortunately. But there are some ground rules and realities. That's what this session is about.

We'll take a few case-studies to discuss what all options are available to any author. We'll talk about the pros and cons of each model. And we'll discuss next steps.

So, if you are an aspiring author serious about taking the next step, this session is for you.

See you there,

Hersh Bhardwaj
