Guides for writers and self-publishers

Long-form, practical guides on writing and publishing a book — what to do, in what order, and what it costs.

• How to publish an eBook: a complete step-by-step guide — Everything between a finished draft and a live, purchasable eBook — written for first-time authors who want to publish this week, not this year.
• How to write a book: from blank page to finished draft — The part nobody can automate. A repeatable method for getting from an idea to a complete first draft without stalling at 30%.
• eBook cover design: what actually sells a book online — Dimensions, typography and genre signalling for covers that survive being 150 pixels wide in a grid.
• eBook pricing in India: what to charge and what you keep — Realistic INR price bands, royalty maths on a 70/30 split, and when a free book is a strategy instead of a mistake.
• Self-publishing vs traditional publishing: an honest comparison — Rights, royalties, speed and control compared without cheerleading, so you can pick the route that fits your book.
• Public domain books in India: what you can legally republish — Indian copyright terms, how they differ from US rules, and how to turn a public domain work into a legitimate new edition.
