Publishing
Hi!
This is my first post on this fabulous website. I hope to be contributing a few thoughts/comments on publishing. Before I begin, I may as well give a brief introduction about myself. So, if anyone has thoughts/comments/queries etc to suggest for this column, please feel free to write/ask!
I am a publisher in India, working with a gendered firm called Zubaan. At Zubaan I am a Commissioning Editor and Marketing Directory. I am also responsible for the websites and am very interested in exploring digital publishing. Meanwhile, here is a link to a website on “womens’ writing” that we are in the midst of constructing, but its USP is the database of profiles. I am also associated with a monthly journal published from New Delhi called The Book Review where I guest-edit their annual issue on Children’s and Young Adult’s Literature. Its published every November. I have been doing it for nearly a decade now. Apart from this, I wrote the first report on the Book Market in India for the Publisher’s Association, UK. It was published in 2003. Subsequently it was revised by Rob Francis. I am also co-ordinating a creative writing workshop on DesiLit . Well enough about me.
Please feel free to write asking about publishing, meanwhile I shall be try and post publishing gupshup, comments, reviews, interesting links that I discover as I trawl the net.
Cheers,
JAYA

Apologize me for asking this, but what’s the connection between Zubaan and PassionforCinema? Am I missing something (My brain is not so hyper intelligent so pls help me)
MK, PFC is gradually diversifying into a forum for all art forms and people here are not only lovers of cinema, but also literature, theatre, music and so on. At some point in time all artists and art forms converge to create ideas. That is the connection between Zubaan and Passionforcinema and we are very happy to have Jaya writing here.
Ah…Jaya,
