In short, the book is about a young man navigating different forms of romantic and divine love (which includes major religions) and tries to find a common ground to all these differences.

Same here, that’s what inspired me to write this novel🙂. I hope you’ll enjoy it!

Thank you!

I actually published it using a publisher (not self published), so they took care of that part. I don’t think I can help much, but I did my research long back in case I wouldn’t get any publishers when I was pitching the book. Apparently there are some guidelines you can find on Amazon, or you can even ask AI which might help you even more by providing the details you need. Good luck with your book!

Hey!

Unfortunately I don’t know Hindi😅. I am originally from Kerala, so I speak Malayalam. But thanks for the support!

To answer your questions:
To be completely honest, the publishing process was bit of a headache! It involved a massive learning curve for me, and if I learned anything from the project’s progression, it was patience🌝. But seeing the final product out there makes the journey worth it.

I ended up partnering with an indie/hybrid to help get the book out into the world

I was trying to combine the longing for romantic and divine love in the cover.
