Hi. I usually don’t comment on RUclips videos, but here I am and it is going to be a long one.
I am glad to have come across your channel. I am writing a Sci-Fi novel. It is going to be my debut book. It is not finished yet and hence I have not started looking for a literary agent yet.
I have been watching such videos but they are mostly by people based in NY or London. It will be nice to learn more about publishing industry in India from you. Also, most of your videos are hour long. I will watch those videos but I would also like to see more of such shorter and informative videos.
My best wishes for this RUclips channel. 👍🏻

Hi, I sent one story from my story collection to a publisher for review and they accepted to publish, but after reading contract, I realized that they are vanity publishers. I haven't signed anything and want to walk away. But I am scared now that they might misuse my story. They have a good name in the market. If I publish my collection later with another publisher, not knowing if the current one has misused it, I can have issues with my book's copyright. I have all the proof that I sent them the story. But I am worried now. Can you suggest something please!
