Well iam into book promotions and online review of books. This is a very controversial topic as there are many topics which are unclear.
What is Self Publishing: Self Publishing is a kind of publishing where the writer gets his / her content published without a specific publishing firm. There are many online platforms which do this work. In self publishing the author himself / herself is responsible for marketing the book. The author has to take care of the sales figures and get the royalty from the platform as per their terms.
Paid Publishing: In paid publishing the author pays to the publisher to get published. its a service that they are taking from the publisher for which they are paying them. Its also many times mistaken by Self Publishing. Paid Publishing can be of many types of paid publishing,
Partnered Publishing: Here in this case the work is divided and so are the costing behind it. As per the costing shared profits are also shared upon successful sale of books.

In many cases and instances we have found that publisher takes the money from the Writer and does not deliver. Their reasons are
1. Burnt all the x sum of copies as they had an editing error
2. The warehouse caught fire.
Well there are some publishers who are into plagiarism who ask authors of their entire manuscript and then publish the same with their name on it.
Following are a list of some reputed publishers in India whom you can contact to.
