I have posted this comment:

I know what really goes on with fledgling Indian writers - the poor authors submit their manuscripts to CUNNING foreign publishers who hire professional ghost-writers who are paid a hefty sum by the cunning publishers to do a lot of editing and polishing of the pathetic manuscripts to produce excellent edited versions of top quality which are then published under the Indian author's name to trap the vast Indian market of eager Indian readers who LOVE to read English novels by INDIAN authors! How clever! Of course, it's a win win situation for everybody except poor sweet s. Indian female authors who are too puffed up by the publishing success of the bestsellers they are supposed to have written (whereas the credit should actually go to anonymous ghost-writers who don't mind because what the avaricious ghost-writers want is MONEY - LOTS OF MONEY). These "best-selling" fledgling Indian authors who get flattered excessively by their chamchas and chamchees (who do not know the inside story of publishing and marketing) have to pay a heavy price for getting an exaggerated opinion of their writing ability and keep getting rejection slips from reputed publishers who are looking for authors who can write English of good quality. Such blunt rejection may cause s. female aspirants to constantly dream of melodramatic "suicide" which, of course, never happens because the HAPPY THOUGHT of "meeting" Him (in the vulgar sense) fills them with joy and at once banishes all thoughts of imaginary "suicide". I would advise sweet s. budding writers NOT to have a swollen head but to keep improving their English. Many good books are available such as WORD POWER MADE EASY by Norman Lewis. - G
