If you've completed your manuscript and are ready to share your poetic vision with the world, there are several promising pathways leading to publication.

Traditional Publishers: A Labor of Love

Traditional publishers such as Penguin Random House, HarperCollins, and Hachette do not charge you to publish your book. They cover all costs of publishing and offer a modest royalty to the author, typically around 7.5% of the cover price of the book. It's a generous deal, indeed!

But be warned: traditional publishers are flooded with manuscript submissions. The review process can be lengthy, and first-time authors often face rejection due to perceived risk.

Do-It-Yourself Publishing: Streamlined and Efficient

There are easier, faster routes to publishing your book without the cumbersome traditional process. Do-It-Yourself (DIY) publishing platforms like Amazon KDP and Notion Press offer an efficient and user-friendly approach.

Step-By-Step Guide to DIY Publishing

Here's a simple three-step process to get your book published through DIY platforms:

Upload your manuscript: Upload your book to the chosen platform. It's that simple! Choose either Amazon KDP or Notion Press, depending on your preference for other services. Design your cover: Design an eye-catching book cover that captures your poetic essence. DIY platforms often provide tools and templates to help you create a professional-looking cover. Make it available: Make your book available for purchase. Your book will be listed both as a paperback and as an eBook, ensuring that you reach a wide audience across India and beyond. These platforms are completely free to use, giving you full control over the publishing process. Plus, you get a substantial portion of the earnings from every book sold.
