<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The Question Was: </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">In the age when so many self-publishing companies are here, it's not a big deal making an author. However, getting a book in the hands of 'perfect readers' for the genre is still a challenge which authors have to face. They try so many things on themselves and ultimately, end up hiring some PR agency. However, hiring a PR agency which is not specifically dealing with books & authors only, can also be a disaster in the terms of price as well as result. So, what's the way out for the authors? How can authors ensure that right kind of readers get to know about their book? Is there any <a href="http://bookreviewsonline.net/" target="_blank">book PR agency</a> that helps them with this trouble? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcq0F_MV-_XSWrGgUo4DxWmjDmHyseLy0AH_f7NR17E2VeC5pnF6MJDX2AhAzMG0cb-yKmaj-JcVqDQswxXrXSd3cnOfQfMvygtMQxaF3jUn_Vg-9RGg6NBpV5WP0LPdddSpeIau07RyI/s1600/TeamBR_Online+Designing+Authors.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcq0F_MV-_XSWrGgUo4DxWmjDmHyseLy0AH_f7NR17E2VeC5pnF6MJDX2AhAzMG0cb-yKmaj-JcVqDQswxXrXSd3cnOfQfMvygtMQxaF3jUn_Vg-9RGg6NBpV5WP0LPdddSpeIau07RyI/s320/TeamBR_Online+Designing+Authors.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-size: large;">I Decided:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Being an author myself (one book in late 2012), I have decided to do something in this field when I saw the dream of my book shattered just after the publication. I decided to create some platforms for the authors and publishers which would help them in promoting and marketing their books to the mass readers. It took me some time completing my Masters in English Literature and then the journey began. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">What I Did? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I have established <a href="http://ashvamegh.net/" target="_blank">an international literature magazine</a> named Ashvamegh. This magazine publishes every month featuring works by poets and authors across the world. Moreover, Ashvamegh also publishes book reviews and interviews with the authors, providing them an opportunity for communicating directly with their readers. After some successful contacts by the authors for publicity of their books on a smaller scale, I decided to make it bigger - expansion of the book promotion platform was my target. Fortunately, things have transpired and today, Ashvamegh has so many associated platforms who work with us. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">What Will The Authors Get?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The authors will get an opportunity to get their books featured on many targeted book blogs and websites which talk about literature, books and authors. Some of them are <a href="http://thebookblog.in/" target="_blank">The Book Blog</a>, Featured Books, <a href="http://theindianauthors.in/" target="_blank">The Indian Authors</a>, <a href="http://bookstoread.in/" target="_blank">Books to Read</a> and <a href="http://novelstoread.in/" target="_blank">Novels to Read</a>. Along with this, the authors can also get a chance to be featured on different <a href="http://authorinterviews.net/" target="_blank">Author Interviews</a> website. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">How Will These Things Help in Book & Author Promotion? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Why not! These things directly impact the reputation of an author. Being featured on so many websites communicate to the readers a direct message - the book is being read and enjoyed. Exclusive interviews help the author reputation so much and it leads to making the author brand... </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">What Else? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The book marketing agency that I have established, offers a lot of other services which many agencies will not offer. We operate in online as well as offline channels. We have associations with reader clubs, book clubs, reader groups and libraries. We have contacts with the students who help us in reaching the reader base in colleges and universities. Social media promotion is also on our radar and we utilise them to the best. We offer an all-round book & author promotion services which will get the boost that a serious author needs. We have helped many authors write their success stories. ARE YOU THE NEXT? </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Should I always sound the same that people want to listen? The answer is no, and it should be the only answer! However, the people who told me that the answer is no became too uncomfortable when I spoke something which did not go well with their narrative... </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This is a classic case of 'freedom of expression' sham that's on display across the world these days! However, without going into the details of who conspired and what transpired, I will get into my main business - telling the world about recent developments in the Book Promotions strategies. And by the way, I have recently established a dedicated PR platform for authors which will help them in promoting themselves as well as their books - <a href="http://bookreviewsonline.net/">Book Reviews Online</a>. This platform is on the roll by TeamBR_Online, a team of young and dynamic strategists which is always excited to take new challenges to prove itself. </span></div>
<a name='more'></a><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Writing a book has become much easier a task than before. We have a number of publishers lined up to publish the manuscripts of the newbies by charging a fee labeled as publication fee. Self-publishing, as we call this process, has made it within the access of emerging authors to get published and let the world know about their talents. However, in most of the cases, most of these books don't reach the readers according to the potential of the book. The only reason is the number of books published is so high that readers cannot judge which is the best to their reading taste and mostly, they end up reading which they don't like. If I may say, a kind of gap has been created between the readers and the right authors. And, to be justified about the whole business of book promotions, promoting a book is just like feeling that gap between these two so that the readers get to read the book of their choice! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">In the digital age, when we most of the things online, book promotion activities have just become indispensable for an author! A serious author, who wants to connect to the reading audience, always spends a little to promote his or her book. Spending through the right platform just makes the work worth and fluent. Therefore, the need of the hours is also to recognise the right book promotion platform among so many deeming to be so! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">And if you don't want to worry too much, you can calmly visit our 'ONLY DEDICATED PR PLATFORM FOR AUTHORS & BOOK PROMOTIONS' Book Reviews Online. The team over there will make book and author promotions easy for you and also at a very comprehensive cost. You can choose from different available packages and pick the one that best serves your requirements as well as suits your pocket. Moreover, you also get the freedom to design your custom packages.

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Who does not want to wander like a free bird? At the bottom, we are all but wanderers... looking for something special that we keep looking unless we find it. Very few, though, find that 'special' thing. That special thing, if we see it objectively, is the very purpose of our life. Questions like why I love somebody; why do I care for that person; why do I earn money; why should I save for my days in future and many others... all lead to a single, the core, the ultimate quest - a quest for truth. And that is quest is very well explored and answered in a very fine book by P Satyadeep: The Allegorical Expedition (which is subtitled 'A quest for truth'). The book is author's debut novel and he does show a true balance between the narration and the theme of the book. Let's explore more of it. </span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-size: large;">This is the story of Satyajit, a successful movie director. As happens with most of the people with nothing more left to achieve, SJ (Satyajit) also develops a sense of disillusionment towards the world. He becomes a little itchy, hurried and to an extent - frustrated as well. The frustration holds him of making 'yet another' movie with the same drab - theme of modern romance and a few tragic tears to shed. He looks for something 'extraordinary' and sets on a trip to find his impulse. And this 'expedition' is the major highlight of this novel The Allegorical Expedition. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The plot revolves around Satyajit and his intellectual encounters with other characters in the novel. There are some of them; however, most important ones are - Panditji and Maaya. One is related to SJ and another is the centripetal force during the expedition which introduces SJ to a manifold of issues. And the story ends with SJ being even more famous for his new movie and it breaks all the box office records. However, at the end, he moves out again on an expedition with no details where and why does he leave (possibly for a sequel). But, in between, there are many things that will interest the readers and keep them enraptured thoroughly. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The movie the film director SJ makes re-tells the mythological stories. The stories of Saudasa, Vasishta, Yamraaj, Sri Vishnu and many others are revisited in the course. The major happening is the way in which SJ is introduced to these stories. Moreover, en route his movie plot, he also unfolds many stories that instruct him about the life in general. Thus, the journey becomes pretty much 'allegorical' as we see in the title of the book itself. He learns many lessons about 'monkey mind,' rebirth of the mind, wilderness, 'who art thou' and many more such questions are answered in his own contemplation as well in the form of answers coming from Panditji and others. The setting of the novel is in far lands, far from the sad cityscape, you will feel transported to a freshness. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">To conclude, The novel by P Satyadeep is a fresh addition but not a naive one. If you are reading the contemporary pieces, you will easily get to know what is the difference between a regular novel and a different kind of novel. In fact, as the character SJ does something different in the terms of his movie, the same has been done by Satyadeep in the terms of the novel. Thus, the term 'allegory' can serve as a pun as well. My advice - read it once and you will like it. Read it twice and you will love it! Happy reading folks!</span><br />

Fiction is immense and it can only keep you observed if it has something, otherwise, you will look for another... In modern day India, there are many writers and as many readers. A lot of mess is there when it comes to choosing your favourite one or read any one of them. However, some books are just that good to be read. I can tell you this because I came across such a book recently. Blood in the Paradise by Madhav Mahidhar - a tale of an impossible murder. As the title goes, this book is full of thrill and keeps your curiosity level alive throughout... to the end of the novel. Madhav has done something really good to keep the attention of the author. The book begins in the form of a journal like experience, as you see the titles like '3 days before suicide... the day of the suicide...' and so on.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
This novel tells the story of a wife Madhumita who is going through immense torture by her husband. Her resolve to come out of this state of suffering and the guidance that she gets from her sister are also the central point of Blood in the Paradise. When asked if this novel is an example of 'ultra-feminism, the author Madhav Mahidhar did not call it so. Yes, there is a hint of feministic idles but that's all valid in the given circumstances.<br />
<br />
Another attractive and very lively character in the novel is DCP Vishwaroop. The way he acts and shows determination, honesty and his workaholic nature he is a man to be praised. However, his courageous investigation cannot put the convicted for punishment - and here is the twist.... a crime, which is all necessary given the situations, is committed; convict is taken for trial and she escapes in the greatest possible fashion! This is the story and it has been told in a way that readers will love it. Full chapters dedicated to the interrogation; a chapter dedicated to the confession and also the division of the book into certain parts will make the read worth. If you love detective and thriller fiction, Blood in the Paradise is for you... go for it!<br />

<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrqS2mqt_4Oqb9bd1KzTl3XiUr8qh3rlwQtHQ5qwlINxOOxbvLBOxgYUvxG2sIqQN5QYtMyYg9QwydGgqryaI3GuE-qywG3VQ4ZBtBtAcfr0l5cWuF5FN7lx804TeyJ7ALJFlW-MdNefA/s1600/poets+going+global.png" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrqS2mqt_4Oqb9bd1KzTl3XiUr8qh3rlwQtHQ5qwlINxOOxbvLBOxgYUvxG2sIqQN5QYtMyYg9QwydGgqryaI3GuE-qywG3VQ4ZBtBtAcfr0l5cWuF5FN7lx804TeyJ7ALJFlW-MdNefA/s320/poets+going+global.png" width="320" /></a><br />
Poetry has become very popular, once again, at least for the poets who write poems... Yes, there were many reports in the Western Media about the decline in readership of poetry. However, what they missed was the point that 'poets were emerging' despite the readers' crisis. And eventually, as the poets and poetry kept coming, the readers also joined the rally. Today, once again, poetry has become popular.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
There are many poetry magazines spread across the world. Some are online and some are offline and some are running on both the platforms. Online poetry magazines have the advantage of reaching out to the global poets' fraternity because the internet has become a household thing today. A poet writing in Virginia can send poems to the magazine being run by Indian person. Likewise, poets from India can also send their submissions to various magazine worldwide! This global exchange of verse has made poetry 'global' finally. We are witnessing a transition in reading as well as writing habits and so, the transition in publishing habits was inevitable. We read poetry anthologies today on Kindle devices and other ebook readers. The sale of physical poetry books has certainly declined, one cannot juxtapose that fact.<br />
<br />
How to choose the best poetry magazine to get your work published? This is the biggest question that pops up whenever a poet finishes writing some 5-10 poems. Well, you can take the help of internet and find on google. The popularity of a magazine publishing poetry can be measured by the level of poets published. For example, there is the Poetry Foundation website which is by far the best poetry resource for the readers as well as the writers. One can easily learn about different poets from the past as well as the contemporary world literature on that website.<br />
<br />
Coming to our country also, there are many <a href="http://ashvamegh.net/">poetry magazines in India</a> publishing online or offline. Choosing amid various of them might be difficult, but Sahitya Akademi's journal remains far ahead of the competition... Getting published in some of the ezines will help the poets in getting noticed - their work, as well as their writings, will catch the attention of many readers. So, don't wait, and go global if you are a poet! </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Centuries ago, the authors and poets did not need to promote their books to reach the audience. All that mattered those days was the quality of book content and also, the readers were very few until the rise of middle class in the Victorian era (and during that age in other parts of the world). And once the reader base emerged, the practice of book promotions began taking shape around the world. Book promotions in India, in recent, has appeared as the most sought after tool by the authors to connect with their potential readers. </div>
<br />
<b>Why is book promotion important today? </b><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It's a wrong question to ask; <a href="http://ashvamegh.net/book-promotion-in-india-authors/" target="_blank">book promotions</a> were important yesterday, are today important and will be very important tomorrow. Authors or poets who want their book to reach on the tables of the target readers, do promote their book by several different means. Some important of them are - book reviews, author interviews, book related stories on media platforms, social media promotion of the book and the author, and many different kinds of tactics. Most importantly, the thing which has made the job of promoting the books even easier for the novelists and authors is the emergence of third party book promotion professionals. They operate independently or as a dedicated book marketing agency. Some of them also own book promotion websites. And yes, we are talking about India only!</div>
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
<b>Will the promotions help sales of my book? </b><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
That's a question worth of millions! The first thing that book promotions do is making 'your readers' aware of the publication of 'such a title'. Once the readers are aware, they are curious to know more about the book - and to serve that purpose, the book promotions strategy include book teasers, <a href="http://ashvamegh.net/book-reviews/" target="_blank">book overviews, book reviews</a> and insight into the book. Thus, the questions of a reader about your book is answered very smartly. In most of the cases, the book reviews are written professionally and it provokes the readers to buy the book by putting the amazon link. And then, you can safely and surely say that yes, book promotions increase the sale of a book dramatically! </div>
<br />
<b>Where to start promoting my book? </b><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Well, that depends; do you want to go into some DIY mode or you want to get it done by the experts? You can do it yourself on your social media pages as well as by doing some blogging. However, the best is to loosen your pocket a little and spend some bucks for your book. The book marketing experts will help your book reaching the target it deserves by deploying their best practices. Ashvamegh Book Promotion services are very popular for doing book promotion campaigns in India as well as internationally. Ashvamegh has handled national and international authors successfully. You can have a look on their website. </div>

<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
Getting Book Reviews in India & Other Countries</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Book Reviews have been constantly playing an important role in the journey of an author. Whatever an author might be writing, unless critics and scholars don't acknowledge the work and opine about the contents, the book cannot appeal to the masses! <a href="http://ashvamegh.net/book-reviews/" target="_blank">Book reviews</a> are that important. However, many things about this practice have changed over time. 5-6 decades ago and before that, book reviews used to be primarily focused on the critical evaluation of any book. The readers who used to review the book concentrated on bringing out the pros & cons to the common readers so that they could enjoy the book being aware of the critical points. Today, the scenario has changed. The concept of paid reviews, promotional reviews, influencer blogging reviews has emerged on a high scale. India is also playing an active role in this direction. There are many popular book bloggers in India who are making a good sum of money out of their habit of reviewing books.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As an author, how can you get the most out of book reviews? How can you make sure that your book reaches to a wide range of readers? How will you judge which platform is good to offer your book for a review? </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
First of all, you need to map and find out which websites are offering good services in this area. There might be many individual bloggers who claim to offer promotional book reviews but they don't get enough of readers for their website. You should save yourself from those blogs and bloggers. Try looking for some established magazines, journals, reputed book promotion experts. These will be acting effectively to make your book exposed directly to the reading fraternity. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Of course, I am writing to offer you a welcoming welcome on the magazine that we operate from India. Ashvamegh has established itself as one of the leading online literary magazines in India and also worldwide. At Ashvamegh, we offer quality book promotional services to the authors from India and other countries. We offer free reviews as well a wide range of promotional services.

a light of hope!</span></h1>

<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "baskerville old face" , serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span lang="en-US" style="font-size: large;">When
the idea to create a platform like this emerged in my mind, I was
thinking only one thing - light. Light is not only a word; it's a
complete dictionary of positivity. This 'light' propelled me to take
a stand and build a stage where the common people can have their say.
<a href="http://indialatestnews.com/">ILN - India Latest News</a> stands with light, light that will let you
the things as they are. At ILN, no one is a professional journalist.
A group of ordinary citizens of this great democracy has decided to
bring the real news to the readers. Fortunately, I have the chance to
work with this group and contribute my part. My ideology is quite
straightforward - positivism inspires positive thoughts. ILN will
focus mostly on the positive news; nevertheless, it will always warn
you about those negative elements in the society, without adding that
extra layer of spice!</span></span></span><br />

<div class="western" lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "baskerville old face" , serif;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span lang="en-US">We
all know what journalism means. In a democracy, this profession has
the privilege to be hailed as the fourth pillar. The building will be
safe only if all the pillars stand straight. However, this fourth
pillar of our great democracy seems to be leaning: leaning to leftist
ideology, extremism, particular religion, particular person, or the
particular institution. I don't find it necessary to give evidence as
we all are aware of what's going around us. I don't concur with this
prevailing favouritism going around explicitly in Indian journalism.
Worth to mention that there are the people who set the example,
unfortunately, they are few! On the other hand, this industry is full
of people who seek their personal settlements. In this pursuit, they
succumb to compromise their profession and the people remain astray,
away from the truth. While most of the audience and readers might
have settled with this approach to a profession which bears
tremendous responsibility, we at ILN could not! I have great faith in
'light' and 'hope'. ILN, which bears the testimony - 'light of hope,'
will do the best to change this mundane scenario where people
'usually' believe what they read or watch. Neither I nor anyone in my
team is a professional journalist, but, we wish to 'redefine' the
practice of journalism! </span></span></span>
</span></div>

<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "baskerville old face" , serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span lang="en-US" style="font-size: large;">I
will give you a simple example. 'A car accident: newly married couple
dead' is the headline and at the bottom of the report, you will see
'4 people were saved' or '4 people survived' or '4 people are safe'.
The moment you see such a headline that mentions the death of a newly
married couple, you will be in dismay. However, if you see it, 'a car
accident: 3 people are safe' I must believe you will be positive! Our
media is very much in love with negativity these days. Life is not
dreadful, dear readers! You have been listening and reading all the
bad things, it's natural to be hopeless, sad and frustrated! No more;
no more; let's move together and bring the positivity in the light to
ignite hope. I hope this effort from our side will bring comfort and
energy to the readers who read the inspiring and <a href="http://indialatestnews.com/positive-journalism-matters/">positive news</a>.</span></span></span></div>

<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
Indian Journalism</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Why the purview of Indian journalism has blackened? Not only blackened, rather darkened to such an extent that Ravish Kumar had to stand behind the darkness and flaunt his ego of being a 'true journalist' with his voice only. I accept it, dear Ravish. You are a true journalist. However, you are trapped in the mud of leftist ideologies (on which your organization stands) that don't let you the things 'right'. You were trying to throw the same mud on the hero of Indian journalism, Arnab Goswami. You should know, dear Ravish, that Arnab is not made of the skin that Barkha wears! He can see what is 'right' and what is right. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Oh! It is not the motive of my writing today. I am not typing these words to glorify a journalist and defame other. I am writing today with agony. I am worried thinking about the direction in which Indian journalism is advancing. A person like <a href="http://alok-mishra.net/rajdeep-sardesai-anti-national-jnu-event/">Rajdeep</a> openly admits he is an 'anti-national'; Barkha writes a 'plagiarised' letter to the PM proposing herself as a 'bajaru aurat'; electronic media channels like NDTV, ABP news, AAJ Tak and others are ready to contest the emotions of a billion countrymen. I am literally surprised to see their enthusiasm in defending the budding terrorism in JNU. Journalists like Abhishar openly come and engage in verbal arguments with the common people and challenge their nationalistic notions. Are we really seeing it? Is it really happening in India? The fourth pillar of Democracy seems to have been paralysed and on the verge of destruction. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
However, the question stays on our side to answer. How long are we going to endure? How long will we take it? How long the people of India will be passive and receive what 'they' offer? My friends, it's the time to act! We have had enough! Let us move ahead and start the action.<br />
We have launched a platform for Latest News & Expert Opinions. We will let you know about recent <a href="http://indialatestnews.com/">news from India</a></div>
