Nishant I’m thrilled for you. You won’t regret this decision. Publishing my book with a top publisher has insured it stays in distribution and that I’m able to have that thrill of seeing it in bookstores. But the biggest thrill is hearing from readers! I can’t wait to receive your book and celebrate you!!
Hi Nishant! I know of you for some years now. And the sheer chance of me seeing this article and knowing about your book I am going to take it as a sign! While my book is a creative non-fiction, I am also in the throes of deciding whether i should go self-publishing or approach an agent , and to read that you got approached is such reassurance that such things also happen. I don’t know whether you are a first time author or not, because I have heard, publishers don’t accept first time authors.
You are so right about the marathon part and that books can really reach places you can’t. Currently I am in the messy middle of editing my manuscript to get it ready for my beta readers, and would love to read more of how this process was for you and tips for new authors in the process of becoming . I am at that ugly distance in the marathon where you cannot afford to give up but you are spent to go on.
You post for definitely a light at the end of the tunnel, a silver lining to look forward to!!
So funny I messaged you right when this post popped up! I am glad you made the decision to work with a traditional publisher, and very excited for your release next month!
Congrats on experiencing the book making process. I learned quite a bit too!

Congratulations Nishant🌸❤️✨
Luv'ed it. Good article. Discovery by doing things that aren't instantly appealing and take much longer than you think you'd like.....
That's it, Jim. It needed me to rewire myself for the long-term reward.
I hit preorder so fast my finger cramped. Excited to get my copy when it arrives. Congrats!
Yay! Reading this made me feel so good, thank you 🥰🥰
Congratulations, Nishant. I know it feels great when a project comes together. I’m excited to see your book!
Thank you Amy!
