My First Book is Out! - Sweep Thourgh Your Interviews: Outcome of the Ultimate Success Formula
I am sure many of you know the kind of challanges I underwent to bring out my first book, Sweep Through Your Inerviews. Almost four years back it was done and the full script was ready. I went to 4 different publishers. Here is my experience.
One of the biggest name to whom I went straight away turned down telling they are not interested.
Second one again a big name in the publishing industry, gave me a committment in writing on their letter head that they will publish the book. I gave the entire content and there was no movement for almost 4 months. I was following up and finally by the end of one year they said we cant do it now. I was telling to myself, ‘If I can’t then I must’!
Third one was even more closer as interestingly I had my one of my ex-classmates heading the marketing division for that publisher. Definitely again they are a big name! Proof reading was done and they asked me to do lots of changes, I have over 30-40 different email communications with them advising me to alter certain parts of the book to make it a better reading experience for the readers. It was done and the process took over one year! When the book was about to go for typesetting there were lots of internal changes for them and my book was kept on hold and finally I heard ‘Publishing this is not possible now!’. This was the hardest hit in the journey of publishing my first book. That really inspired me to start off ‘101 Secrets of Effective Parenting’. This told me there is a purpose behind every experience what we have in our life.
Almost by the end of 4 years I came across New Century Publishing House who were greatly interested in bringing out this book. They are the ones who have published good number of Dr.Abdul Kalam’s book. They did this in a record time of 2 months and the book is out! It was a great experience to hold the first copy of the book in my hand. The dream come true. End of it I thank each and every one of you for the awesome faith what you had on me to make this happen.
Only one lesson this experience taught me is ‘Never Give up’….Copies are available at OnlySuccess. Grab yours!
