About APK publishers
About
Overview
APK Publishers is a young and dynamic publishing house based in Pune, India. It was founded in July 2008 by Prashant Karhade and Anagha Karhade.
It is the only “truly English” publishing house based in Pune, and one of the very few publishing houses in India with a mission of helping first-time writers. Till date, APK Publishers has published 200+ titles, almost all of them by first-time writers!
If you have an idea for a book and would like to get it published, please send an email to Anagha at [email protected]. If it is worthy of publishing, it will get published. That doesn’t necessarily mean that APK Publishers will finance the cost of production. Even if we ask you to pay the cost of production for the first copies of the book, you can be sure that it will be in the lowest cost possible; it certainly won’t be anywhere close to the outrageous amounts that some other publishing houses demand!
