Amazon Pen To Publish | A Golden Opportunities For Wannabe Authors

Do you have a flair for writing?

Do you have an author within you?

Do you want to tell stories which you think people will love to read and hear?

Are you willing to pen down a book?

If answer to any of these question is “Yes” then this article is for you.

It is tough to write something. It is tougher to write something in a way that other people enjoy reading it! However, an author’s quest doesn’t end with writing a quality manuscript!

The quest to search for a publisher and convince him/her that you have a story to tell which is worth publishing!

During most of the author interviews, we’ve found that most of the authors found it very difficult to find a publisher for their debut book. And it is an open secret. How many times you’ve heard the stories that J. K. Rowling’s famous “Harry Potter and the philosopher’s stone” is rejected by many publishers?

Even Amish Tripathi had trouble finding a publisher for his debut book, Immortals of Meluha and he has to go self publishing way!

Same happened to a number of authors (or rather we say, the majority of the authors).

Of course, the publishers are not to be blamed.

They receive literally hundreds of book manuscripts to read/edit and publish. And practically it is impossible to look into the draft of each of them. And, they are running a business, so unless they see a potential and profit in the work, why would they take a risk?

It gave rise to self publishing! In India, there are many publishers offer self-publishing of the book with a paid package. They provide many services based on the package you buy.
