And now that fewer people read books the money you have invested takes very long to come back.

I am planning to run a weekly book club in a book cafe near the Banaras Hindu University, in Varanasi. Is there we can collaborate for a monthly/bi-monthly event on books?

Undoubtedly, publishing is a passion project. One important pitfall you guys deal with is the fact that your dues from bookstores and distributors take for ages to collect. And there’s that terrible sword of book returns. @chiraghthakkar @karthikavk @AlephBookCo @TeestaGuha

Isn't that bad business? If it's a losing game, why play?

After self publishing a couple of books, I understand that writing is probably the easy part. All the other stuff is where the grind starts. Interesting to know of a publisher's grind that I was unaware of.

Chilki, appreciate this however you are missing the point: what you said does not apply to all the publishers. Yes there are challenges you guys face and what we need to do is organize this market. I know it’s tough and easier said than done but it needs revamp. Simply playing

The victim by a publisher or author or anyone won’t help. We need to create an ecosystem that supports this whole industry and more than that helps every partner gain better out of this. #WritingCommmunity #publishing
