self publishing in India

You have been planning your book or novel for years and finally it is written and ready to be published. You have been researching about how to publish a book in India or how to publish a novel in India and stumbled upon us. Self-publishing in India may be the best option for new or first-time authors, considering traditional publishing houses usually publish established authors whose books they hope to sell in excess of 5,000 copies in a year. We are part of Power Publishers & motion Pictures, which brought self-publishing in India for the first time in Indian history of publishing, back in January 2008. Self-publishing offers a new or first-time author to choose a bundle of publishing services by paying the cost of publishing a book. The bundle of publishing services includes:
