New Delhi : Gyaana Books, a new publishing venture based in the Indian Capital, has unveiled its first books in association with Writer's Side and bookmeabook.com
Founded by Divya Dubey, a former publishing editor, Gyaana was formally launched by noted poet and writer Keki Daruwalla at the India International Centre.
Daruwalla also released Friday Gyaana's first list comprising "Of Wooing, Woes and Wanderings," a fiction, by Amitabha Chatterjee, a thriller "No Flying from Fate" by Saurbh Katyal, and a collection of short stories titled "Turtle Dove: Six Simple Tales", written by Dubey.
Gyaana aims to bring to writers, whether established or emerging, a new dais for expression; and to book lovers, a worthwhile reading experience. "To reach every educated person in the country and have the brand name recognised and respected and to establish myself as an independent publisher," is her mission, says Dubey.
Speaking on the occasion, Daruwalla said: "Big publishers are generally after big established names and their publishing strategies are mostly guided by commercial calculations. If new and out-of-the-way talent has to surface, small publishers are the need of the hour. Gyaana publishers have started with some innovative books, including an unputdownable thriller, by mostly first time authors. I wish them luck."
