Amish Tripathi self published ‘The
Immortals of Meluha’ before it was picked
            up by Westland.
Ashwin Sanhi self published his first book
 ‘The Rozbal Line’ and it got noticed by
Westland. His next book ‘Chankya’s chant’
      was published by Westland.
Even John Grisham had self published his
            ‘A time to kill’.
ZooZoo
you could self publish
     your book!!!
The legend says that Vyasa, the author of
                                the         world’s        longest      epic
                                Mahabaratha, wanted someone to help him
                                write the Mahabaratha.
                                He approached Lord Ganesha and requested
                                his help to write the epic. Ganesha broke his
                                tusk and used it as a pen to write the
                                world’s longest epic.

Hence Lord Ganesha, writing with his Ivory pen, started the first self
publishing service for budding authors.


Now,



                             is here to help budding authors publish their books.
