PaperTrue recently hosted its first webinar! Months were spent in preparation for the event, which we finally held on the 5th of December this year.
Titled “What are Indian publishers looking for?”, we were in conversation with two wonderful writers, who told us all about their own publishing journeys and provided us with valuable insights into what the publishing landscape in India looks like, and what upcoming writers can do to get their work picked up by publishers in the country.
The discussion was hosted by our very own Aurodeep Mukherjee (Managing Editor), who fabulously steered the conversation towards topics that were relevant to the panellists as well as the audience.
The Relevance of the Topic
The literary landscape in India has taken a lot of turns in the past decade, especially with the advent of online publishing and self-publishing. As the internet enables more and more people to publish their prose and poetry, the landscape itself becomes vaster and more competitive.
There is a strange paradox at play here: as the internet opens up a plethora of spaces to publish, the opportunities to be picked up by traditional publications become scarce.
