Publication of books is
not that easy for a writer who has no label as a writer or author. Of course renowned
authors magnetize the publishers and the latter even wait for a nod from the
former with regard to publishing a material of their creativity. But this is not the case with the neonatal
writers. The doors of Publication houses do not open in front of them. One
cannot blame them because they are apprehensive about the demand of the books.
My mind used to walk over
the fields of thoughts and feelings for much long. In fact it went on travelling from real
incidents to unfeasible happenings. It started sowing the seeds of imagination
in thoughts and feelings. They grew up as words and sentences and I allowed them
to lie on leaves of papers. I titled them with the pet names story, article, poem
etc.
I don’t know if writers of high caliber would
accept these names or not. A child is prized much to its mother, may it be
exquisite or not and so also my progeny to me. So I stopped not reproducing my written
progeny. It goes on now also as it did earlier. But hither thither I had to
come to halts because the fast runner, Time, without pausing a moment for me, many a time had been running away.
It is the long cherished
crave of a writer to see his books in prints. But the publishers do not or
cannot acknowledge the new writers. Are they fully confident about the content
of the writer’s confinement, they support the birthing of his/her offspring.
Nonetheless I had never undertaken the risk of
dreaming for having a book published.
Mainly there are two reasons for that. 1) I
don’t know if my products are worth publishing ( My next of kin complain that I
express humility more than needed in
grading my work; but remember they are my next of kin) and 2) Writers are born in plethora, just as for
every drizzling spring up weeds and grasses . Of course there are a lot many
who contain untainted talent which is a boon from the Almighty. The recognition
sphere of many writers inflates only within limits or rather it remains unobserved.
Somehow now I came to
understand from my sister that Valmeeki Publishers publish the unknown writers’
work as e-books. So I thought ‘why not I give a trial for that?’ I rummaged in
the website of ‘ Vameeki’ and I found the required, as I desired. And my e-book has seen light and here is
it, though it may be a petite dot in writers’ world.
Hope you all will spare a little time to read it. If you download and read in Android on a payment of Rs.10.oo(Rupees Ten),it would be helpful for the publisher.

DeleteVery interesting information. I will surely check it up.
ReplyDeleteWriting is very hard work and not everyone can do it. It is lonely work and needs plenty of grits and determination to succeed. Many of us can't withstand the rigor and discipline of writing.
We should also remember that all the famous writers were novices at one time and they faced too many disappointments and rejections. Take the case of JK Rowling.
We are yet to get a gold medal in Olympics and considering the fact that we have the second largest population in the world, this performance is really disappointing. Even a tiny country like Phillipines got a gold medal.
Coming back to getting written work published, I think only champions with determination,dedication,discipline, hard work, resilience and courage can do it.
Best wishes
