I have written a book. How do I go about publishing it through Pothi.com?

Step 1: Finalize your book

If you have just finished writing your book, your manuscript most likely needs more work. You would like to re-read the manuscript, correct any mistakes or re-write certain portion so that they are more readable. You may need somebody to read and edit the manuscript. This person could be a friend or family member or you may want to avail professional help. If you want to take professional help, you can avail Pothi.com Editing Services. After editing and proof-reading, you manuscript is ready.

Step 2: Format your book

After the actual content is ready, it needs to go in a format that looks good when printed. You can do formatting in your favorite word processor (Microsoft word, Openoffice.org etc.) or go for a DTP software for advanced control (Adobe Page Maker, Adobe In Design, Corel Draw etc.).
