1/ #VoICE #SelfPublishing #UnderTheSun I don’t like the tone and tenor of the tweets on recent ‘piracy’ incident by the author of a book written by a veteran. Social Media has been used in a very filthy way and hundreds of veterans with zero understanding of publishing have been
2/ so eloquent in criticising the act, naming and shaming the suspect and painting the author as ‘peedit’ ‘victim’. No Sir. We need to understand publishing field. My book, ‘Under The Sun’ was published on 27 Sep 2022. It is on Amazon and Kindle. I started writing my
3/ ‘self publishing’ journey from Feb 2022 in form of tweets and threads. You will find at least 20 threads that give graphic details of each step of publishing. I shared it real time. I added numerous novel features like printing buyers name on ‘personalised’ copies. Everything

1/ #UnderTheSun What a wonderful feeling seeing my own book printed and stacked for ‘final cutting’. My book ‘UNDER THE SUN’ finally sees light of the day. All copies ready for delivery as I write this tweet. We commence the ‘logistics’ part now and prepare for dispatch.
2/ The hard work, toil, frustration, challenges, stress, deadlines and interacting and handling numerous people on way to #SelfPublishing is something that we have institutionalised. We have a 89 page scrap book in which we noted any and everything along the journey. This is an
3/ absolute ‘must read’ for first time authors. Some extremely crucial meetings with ‘retailers’ or ‘book sellers’ was an eye opener. Without reading my work how the owners of book shops convinced me of how useless I was as an author, that ‘should be happy if few copies get sold’

1/ COST CUTTING FOURTH SUCCESS
Read threads with #SelfPublishing #CostCutting #UnderTheSun to understand cost cutting in self-publishing. When we started we were demoralised at Rs 6.1 lacs that came as cost to publish our book.
2/ #SelfPublishing #CostCutting #UnderTheSun Established publishers either did not want to touch a new author with a barge pole or wanted us to ‘bear cost’.

We were not ready to dilute the standards we had set for ourselves:
-Made In India paper (99% novels use imported paper).
3/ #SelfPublishing #CostCutting #UnderTheSun
-Highly acclaimed editor.
-Latest printing machines.
-YOUTH as designers for our cover art.
-High quality typesetters.
-E Commerce logistics providers
And more…

We toiled & found out cheaper ways. We simply decided to SELF PUBLISH.
