About BookLeaf Publishing
BookLeaf Publishing exists for the writer who has a manuscript and no idea what to do next. The Delhi company hand-holds first-time authors through editing, design, ISBN, printing and distribution, turning self-publishing from a maze into a guided process. Shivangi Verma, who runs the business alongside co-founder Musavir Khurshid, has leaned into community programmes such as timed writing challenges that turn aspiring writers into published ones, and the company took its author-first pitch to Shark Tank India.
