Why India?India has a rich tradition of literature and numerous modern success stories who have reached an international audience in print. Authors and publishers from outside India also outsource their important eBook projects in India because of the country’s strong IT and literary capabilities. While India’s services business has gained the confidence of the world, we are equally excited about working with aspiring and published authors in India who have not yet leveraged the eBook service strengths of their local market.

Why should you publish digitally? The IDC has projected eReader shipments will reach 27 million units this year. Their shipment forecast for media tablets in 2011 is 62.5 million units. The tablet market in India is expected to grow to 200,000 this year and cross 5 million by 2015. Tablets are expected to filter into the mainstream market by 2013. With 3G and lowering costs of tablets and eReaders, the digital reader base in India is expected to increase dramatically.

Because of this and other market factors, the eBook format offers tremendous opportunities, not just as a vehicle for generating additional income from your existing books, but also in reaching a huge new global audience who prefer to read on their iPad, Amazon Kindle, smartphone, tablet, or eReader.

It’s clear that the digital publishing format holds significant revenue potential for the author. Why should you miss this opportunity?

How to get involved Indian publishers and authors seem to be cautious about adapting to digital publishing. The process can be quite straight forward with MetaPlume. We are inviting submissions from Indian writers for the WordPlume Choice Program, to leverage Indian talent.
