Pratham Books

Since we are only including unique publishing companies that have a profound impact in Bangalore, the fifth name on our list is truly unique.

This is because it is a non-profit publisher. You might ask what is a not-for-profit children’s book publisher? They are exactly what they sound like.

You can call them a charity and they really offer a very good service and you can definitely contact them if you want to publish books for children.

It is very rare that a company with such an amazing reputation for publishing novels also publishes academic books and is also well known for it. They publish in Kannada, Hindi and English.

Penguin Books

This list would be incomplete without having Penguin Books since this is a list of the top 10 book publishers in Bangalore and by top 10, we mean the top 10 influential book publishers.

Penguin Books is not only one of the most popular publishers in Bangalore but it is one of the most popular publishers in the world. They mostly publish in English.

So, you might ask why are they at number eight and the reason for that is simple. They are a traditional publishing company which means you are not going to get the convenience and modernity of self-publishing with this publishing company.

It will take months for you to get a response from them and even if you get a response from them, your book will most likely be rejected unless you are someone with connections or a lot of fame.

That is why if you plan on publishing your book then you should not have high hopes for Penguin Books because they might not be the most convenient option for you.

That is why if you want to put your trust in a new self-publishing company then you can very well choose them and give them a chance. They mostly publish in English and Hindi.

But if you want to stick to reliable and traditional companies then we would suggest you stay between the number one and number three names in the list.

We are talking about crime novels. Crime novels are one of the most popular types of novels but crime novels can also be extremely difficult for someone who has never done it before.

There is a reason why crime novel writing mistakes are very common but it is also very easy to understand crime fiction mistakes to avoid.

There are so many things that can go wrong when you are writing crime novels and you can be wrong about criminal psychology or you can be wrong about crimes in description and so much more.

That is why instead of just talking about crime novel writing tips, we will be talking about novel writing mistakes to avoid as well such as plot inconsistencies or things like dialogue in crime novels etc.

We will talk about things like character development errors and how you should deal with writing suspenseful scenes so that you know exactly how building tension works.

So let us look at important tips about crime fiction and a few mistakes to avoid and we assure this blog will help you with your research for crime novels.

Let us start the blog from the very basics by understanding what are crime novels.

What Are Crime Novels?

Crime novels are one of the most popular genres of novels and a crime novel is a story that revolves around a crime as the central theme.

Crime novels can be detective novels about crime or even spy novels. Crime novels can be thrillers and they can even be psychological thrillers.

The primary thing to understand about crime novels is that there should be a crime in the plot and there can be resolution of the crime and a reveal.

Crime novels can follow a very common template that is very popular or it can even follow a very unique template that has never been seen before.

They are one of the most popular types of novels but there is so much that can go wrong while writing a crime novel.

So, let us look at a few tips to keep in mind and a few mistakes to avoid.

Tips To Keep in Mind While Writing Crime Novels

Always Do Research

Crime novels are one of the most technical types of novels because it is all about the details and not the emotion.

If you get your details wrong in the crime novel then nobody will simply read your novel because details are everything when it comes to crime novels.

When you are writing crime novels you must have a good understanding of forensics and how investigations work and you must have a deep understanding of whatever you put in the novel.

This means you should also understand how crime takes place and in order to do so the only thing you can do is research and read a lot of other novels but even more importantly read training manuals.

If you get hold of training videos and training manuals for police and detectives and even realistic documentaries then that will help you with your research.

If you want to do the best kind of research then you need to have contacts in law enforcement and detective agencies. This will provide you with the best kind of experience to write crime novels.

And if you are someone who already has a background in the law then it is even better.

Always The Imperfect Hero

If you want to write a crime novel and if you want to follow the trusted trends of time that are loved throughout the world then you should never write a black-and-white novel.

By black and white we mean that you should not write a novel where it is easy to identify the hero or the villain and side with the hero.

That is not how things work in real life because the hero has a little bit of a villain and the villain has their reasons to be a villain.

That is why you should always make sure that this is balanced so that you actually give room to your readers to think about it.

If you keep everything black and white then it will not stay a crime novel because everything will be predictable but if you keep the characters in the grey then it is going to improve the complexity by a lot.

A Nuanced Criminal or Villain

If you want to take your novel to the next level then all you need to do is to create a villain that is complex and not a simple criminal who is a bad person for the sake of being a bad person.

You can even do a better thing and make the circumstances the criminal which will make the plot even more complex.

You can show their human part and you can even show the part that makes them truly evil. For example, you can take any popular crime TV series and you are going to find that the criminals are a victim of circumstances.

This is because it is actually what happens in real life because no one is truly evil, they just find themselves in certain circumstances.

Keep Crime at The Forefront

If you are writing a crime novel then you should remember you are writing that because a lot of new authors make the mistake of keeping the crime as a side story.

They do not do it intentionally but they often start the story with different viewpoints and different events that are not directly related to the crime.

But you should always start with the crime and how the crime unfolds. You can take inspiration from the legendary crime novels of Sherlock Holmes because they always start with the crime or with a hint of the crime.

While you are free to do whatever you want but this is something tried and tested in the of crime writing.

Deal In Chapters and Locations

If you are writing for a printed publication and not a TV series then you should make sure that you have a solid location because it is just going to help the reader with the situation.

Having multiple dynamic locations is unnecessary and it is not going to help you with your story but it will make things more confusing.

That is why you should treat the location as a character and that will give you much more dynamic to work on because the setting is going to be essential for all the other events.

The complexity should not be in the locations but rather in the story.

Always Maintain the Tension

If you want to find out the fundamentals of a crime novel then one of the most important fundamentals is suspense because without suspense there is no crime novel.

That is why when you are writing a crime novel you should never give out the suspense before the climax because if you do that the readers will lose interest in the story completely.

That is why you should only reveal the criminal at the very end but leave a little bit of space for explanation.

That is why you are the filter and you should understand how much to let out and how much secret to maintain so that the interest of the readers is maintained.

Write Something You Enjoy and Know

You should not write something for the sake of writing in novel but you should actually enjoy it.  When you are writing a crime novel you are in a very special position of knowing the entire story.

That is why you should only write on something that you know completely about and this is similar to the point about research.

If you do not have interest in a certain kind of topic but if that topic is very popular then you should not write about it just because it is trending.

This is because if you do not have an interest in the topic then you are more likely to make mistakes.

Mistakes can be forgiving in other kinds of novels but not in a crime novel because then you are more prone to loopholes.

Read, Read and Read

Inspiration is something truly magical and the best way for you to get inspiration is to read the very best and that is why we would always tell you to read some of the greatest crime novels in the world.

If you read classic crime novels then you are not only going to get the most practical tips about writing but you will also get to know so much about the crime world so that you will be better informed to write.

Every novel out there is inspired by something else and some authors even mention that and that is why there is no shame in doing so.

You can even put a dedication in your novel stating how some novels inspired you to do so and maybe your novel will inspire someone else.

Serious Mistakes to Avoid While Writing Crime Novels

Never Skip on Research

One of the biggest mistakes you can make is to skip on research for your novel because if you skip on research then you stand the chance of creating loopholes.

Now there are genres out there where loopholes are tolerable because they do not form the structure of the plot.

But loopholes in crime novels can completely destroy the plot and the entire basis of the novel and people will simply not read your novel if it has any loopholes.

That is why the best way to avoid that is to be perfect with your storytelling and perfect with your technicalities.

We have already mentioned how you can do your research but we would also like to tell you that when you are doing research you can make a simple mistake.

You can only think that research is all about books and literature and all about reading manuals but that is not the thing.

Research is also going out into the world and listening to people and talking to police and detectives and simply exploring the world of crime.

It is going into slums and talking to people and understanding the mentality of the people where a lot of crime takes place.

Never Reject Part Two

Another thing you must keep in mind when you are writing a crime novel is that this is a particular genre that works extremely well with sequels.

You can pick up some of the most popular crime novels in the world and you are going to find that they have sequels. That is why you should always be open to the idea of opening up your novel to a second part.

It will not only make sense economically but it will make sense from the point of view of the story and the readers because if they really like something they would want another part.

But the mistake beginner authors make is that they do not leave any space for sequels because they write the first part and they think it is going to be the only part.

They might probably change their mind after their novel becomes successful but they simply do not have any space for sequels after that.

That is why you should always think about the future and leave some space for sequels.

Shortcuts With Editing

Crime novels are very technical which means there are more chances you are going to make a mistake in crime novels than any other kind of novel.

Those mistakes are only going to get noticed in the editing stage of the process. That is why in order to make sure you have the most perfect novel; you should never skip multiple rounds of editing.

If you can afford the time then you should also do proofreading. This is going to be the step after the editing and just before the publishing because if you have the time for it then you should never skip this step, especially for a crime novel.

If you are not confident with the proofreading then you can even hire an outside it to do it for you and supervise it closely.

Predictable Story

The biggest enemy of crime novels is going to be a predictable story because the entire point of a crime novel is for people to keep guessing.

If people cannot guess the ending or the plot then you are successful at writing the novel. But if people are able to guess the story exactly then you should rethink the novel.

This is actually a very simple metric for measuring whether you have a successful crime novel or not. You should have your close friends and your loved ones or even your colleagues read it.

You should give them a section of the novel or maybe the first few chapters. If they are not able to guess the ending then you are successful.

If they can tell you exactly what the ending is going to be then you should revaluate your novel.

Blind Copy

One of the problems with this genre is that people unintentionally replicate classic crime novels after they have read them.

It is one thing to draw inspiration from another novel but people make the mistake of completely copying the novel unintentionally because of how inspired they get from reading other crime novels.

They use stereotypical settings and they use a similar character structure and plot structure.  Now if you have picked up something like that from an obscure novel then you might have a better chance of getting away with it.

But if you have picked it up from someplace familiar like Agatha Christie or Sir Arthur Conan Doyle then people will be able to spot it easily.

That is why you should keep the story as original as possible and if you can do that while drawing inspiration from the greatest novels then there is no harm in it.

Instead, you can draw inspiration from real crime in the world and real plots and combine them and that is one way to stay original.

Apart from all that, you must also keep in mind that the pacing of the novel should be perfect and you should also make sure you spend some time on subplots.

We hope this blog has been helpful for you to understand how to write crime novels and how to not write crime novels because both are important.

And we really hope you are able to pen down your crime novel and that it becomes a bestseller. While we cannot help you write your novel but we can definitely help you reach your readers.

It is completely up to you how many words you want to write and how many pages you want it to be but let us give you an average estimate of page count for crime novels.

There are a lot of unsung professionals in the world who are very impactful in our day-to-day lives but these professionals are not recognised. Their benefits and not understood.

If we have to talk about such a category of professionals then ghostwriters will have to top the list because ghostwriters are needed everywhere and there are multiple benefits to hiring a ghostwriter.

Today we are going to talk about ghostbloggers, they are a special kind of ghostwriter who are extremely important in the online content space with all the same advantages of hiring ghostwriters being applicable to them.

We will talk about all the reasons why you should hire a ghostblogger and their benefits.

The reason for this is simple and it is because professional writers are needed everywhere and especially if you have an online brand.

The reason why you need ghostwriters for your online brand is because you might need a lot of original content but you also need time savings and you need professionals with research skills.

These professionals should understand flexibility and be apt in meeting deadlines. You must also need professionals that have industry knowledge and you must also make sure that these professionals are affordable and meet your expectations of cost-efficiency.

Ghostbloggers are these professionals because they will help you with increased productivity in content delivery and will help you with improved communication with your clients.

So, let us look at some of the undeniable benefits of hiring a ghostblogger.

Benefits Of Hiring a Ghostblogger

Ghostbloggers Save a Lot of Time

One of the most important reasons why people hire ghostbloggers is simply because they are going to save you a lot of time. Time is money in every business.

Let’s say for example you own an online brand and you need brand recognition and in order to do that you need a lot of content in the form of blogs.

You can go two ways and you can get someone from the company to leave their work and write blogs for you but this is not a solution because you are going to have a daily blog requirement.

That means that employee will not be able to do their actual work leading to ineffciencies in the company.

In order to solve that, you can hire someone permanently in the company but that would mean a lot of capital expenditure because you have to pay that person the same as a regular employee.

So, you need an expert because you have a lot of content requirements and you simply cannot do with a regular employee but you might not have that requirement every day so it also does not make sense to hire a ghostwriter permanently.

The only solution that you have in your hands is a ghostblogger from a reputable ghostwriting agency. They will fulfil your content needs whenever you need them. They will be out of your way when you do not need them.

When you hire the services of a ghostwriting agency you can be sure your content needs will be met because a ghostwriting agency has multiple ghostbloggers and you do not need to worry about deadlines.

Ghostbloggers Will Only Provide Quality Content

Ghostbloggers are professional writers and that means you can expect only the finest levels of content from them. You will never get amateur quality work with ghostbloggers and any kind of ghostwriter.

This means your website content and especially your blogs are going to be the best in the industry and certainly better than your competitors that hire amateurs to do the job.

The best thing about this is that the only other way to get this level of quality is to do guest posting and invite popular guest bloggers to your website. That is extremely difficult to do and then again you cannot take the credit for the content they provide.

But with ghostbloggers you can take all the credit and that is the best thing about hiring ghostwriters.

That is why you can get authentic content of the best quality and claim it as your own content written by your own team of bloggers.

Ghostbloggers Will Help You with Brand Awareness and Topical Authority

While we often write about the differences between E-Commerce businesses and physical businesses but they are also similar in a lot of ways.

Your online business will only be successful when your online brand is recognised and you have brand awareness.

You can do that by achieving topical authority in your industry. In order to understand that let us look at it with the help of an example.

Let’s say for example that you manufacture different kinds of candies and sweet products for children. The only way by which your brand is going to be recognised among the best in the candy industry is through topical authority.

Topical authority is when you have content for every kind of possible topic that can be generated in your industry. This means if someone searches for something like the recipe for marshmallow and if you have a blog with the same title then people are going to visit your website to know more about it.

This means your brand is going to be an authority on the topic of candies and everything to do with candies online because the name of your brand will pop up whenever someone asks for anything remotely similar to candy.

In order to do that you need to have a lot of content and ghostbloggers will help you with that content. You can expect a single ghostblogger to write at least 3000 words for you every day.

And if you hire the services of a ghostwriting agency then you can ask for as much content as you need every day.

You can provide them with the topics and stay assured that they write on everything related to candy and that is how you will achieve brand awareness and topical authority. Topical authority is something fundamental to SEO and we will talk more about it in our point about SEO.

Ghostbloggers Will Help You with SEO

SEO is the online equivalent of business goodwill and market authority. Search Engine Optimization(SEO) is fundamental to any online business success.

This is because if you want to achieve any degree of success online then you need to have search engines on your side.

You need search engines to display your website as the such result if a potential customer searches for something similar to your products or brand. This is the finest example of organic customer outreach online.

Search engines are only going to show your blogs or websites as the result if you have relevant content. Your websites and your content will only get a good rank if the content is worthwhile and if the content has quality according to search engines.

Search engines should also be able to identify your content in order for it to be shown as a search result. One of the ways to do it is with the help of proper keyword usage.

Ghostbloggers will not only write quality content for you and help you meet content deadlines but they will also make sure that your content has relevant keywords.

This is extremely important because keywords allow search engine crawlers to identify if a blog or any piece of content is relevant.

Using keywords is an art as well as a science and there are a lot of parameters to make sure that keyword usage is as natural as possible.

Amateurs will not understand that and they will simply dump keywords unnaturally and search engine algorithms can find that out.

That is why you need professionals in the form of ghostbloggers who will effectively and effortlessly utilise keywords in the right places that will help you with Search Engine Optimisation (SEO).

How Do You Get the Perfect Ghostblogger?

Understand Your Needs

The first step to finding the perfect ghostwriter is to actually understand your content needs yourself.  You need to understand your content deficiencies.

For example, if you have a coffee brand and you do not have any blogs related to different types of coffee or different roasting techniques then that means you have a content deficiency.

If you are publishing your book for the first time and if you want to publish it in paperback then you can totally do it because it is still one of the most popular mediums of book publication.

But the thing you must keep in mind is that with different types of book publishing comes different formats because paperback formatting is different from eBook formatting.

There are even different types of paperback formats. While we will not tell you how to format paperback books because you need an extensive tutorial on that but we will definitely help you with understanding the paperback book format.

You will help you understand how to set up the print edition of your softcover book. We will also give you tips about important paperback book design decisions.

These will ultimately help you in book publishing and understanding this very popular publishing format.  You will talk about all the different factors that contribute to the format such as paperback size and much more.

So, let us start this very exciting blog with the question of why would you want to publish in paperback.

Why Publish in Paperback?

People have misconceptions about the popularity of paperback books because of the rise of eBooks but there is enough data to suggest that at least 70% of all books read worldwide are paperback books.

This means paperbacks are still in popularity compared to all the other types of books including eBooks and audiobooks.

In fact, paperbacks give a kind of legitimacy to the book because if a book is printed on paper that means the book has to have some quality to it.

That is why if you are thinking of self-publishing then you should definitely choose a printed book rather than an eBook.

The reason behind this is that people simply like to hold a book and read it and like the feel of a physical book rather than looking at images on the smartphone or e-reader.

Now that we know how important printed books are we should definitely look at paperback formatting so that you might understand how to assemble your book ready for printing.

But before we do that, we still need to understand what is paperback book formatting.

What Is Paperback Book Formatting?

Paperwork formatting is called simple to understand. It is just how you need to arrange the book before it goes into publishing.

This means you need to follow a certain layout if you want the printed book to come out the way you want.

You can follow pre-determined measurements or you can try out your own measurements but you need to make sure that the book is readable and that it is comprehensible.

One of the best ways to ensure that is to format your paperback and come out with a sample. Creating a sample might feel expensive but it is much cheaper than coming out with the first batch of printed books.

Before we start with the important tips to keep in mind for paperback formatting, we to understand if there is a difference between eBook formatting and paperback formatting.

Is There Any Difference Between eBook and Paperback Formatting?

There are significant differences because you need to understand the purpose and the use case of the layout.

If we consider ebooks then you can fit the text at the centre of the page or to any kind of layout you want to because the entire page can be seen and there is no need for printing considerations.

You can even choose an ebook format where only the data of the text will be taken and it will be arranged according to the ebook platform or format.

You are not going to have that luxury with paperback formatting because you need to always keep printing restrictions in mind.

You cannot have the main body of the text in the centre because a lot of the left edge of the page will be taken up by the spine of the book.

Then there are other considerations such as the size of the page and how much of the text you should fit inside that page which also depends on the size of the book.

Important Tips to Keep in Mind While You Format Your Paperback Book?

Templates Are Always Good

People shy away from templates because they think it is amateur but in reality, you are an amateur and if the final work looks professional then it is professional.

That is why you can get hold of an unlimited number of templates online that will help you simply paste your manuscript. You might probably be using Microsoft Word and you can get a lot of templates for that or any other kind of software you use.

You can then go page by page and do basic editing to make sure you have a completed manuscript. If you do not want to use any regular word processing software then you can use something professional and you are going to have even better controls.

Then all you need is a little bit of attention in the numbering and the widows and orphans. You must also make sure that the numbering is never on the bottom or top left because it might be covered by the spine.

Trim Size Is Very Important

One of the other things that you will need to keep in mind is the trim size because it is a basic essential of book formatting and especially a paperback.

Trim size is basically the size of the book which means the length and width of the book.

There is a precise science to this because if you have a book with a higher word count then you need to pick a size that is big so that the book does not seem too thick.

But if you have a small book then you can get away with a small size. Trim size should not only look good but it should match the philosophy of the readers.

That is why you should choose something that is standard but also matches the kind of book you are writing.

You can choose a custom size but it will produce unnecessary difficulty during the printing process and that is why you can choose between a few standard sizes.

• 5×8.5 inches
• 229x152mm (9×6 inches)
• 279x216mm (11×8.5 inches)

 The Front and The Back of The Book

One of the things to consider when you are formatting your book for paperback is the front and the back of the book.

While it is necessary for eBooks as well but it is much more necessary when it comes to paperback because of the traditions paperbacks follow.

The thing is, you do not start numbering the book from the first page. Page numberings are an entirely different topic that needs an entire blog but we will help you understand it in short.

There are different pages to a book and you might distribute them in sections because one section might contain the copyright as well as the acknowledgements and the contents.

Another section might contain the body of the text.

The last page or the last section might contain credits and much more.

It is usually tradition to not number the pages unless they are the primary body of the text. That is why when you paste your manuscript in the template you need to make sure that they are maintained.

Apart from that you need to keep in mind a few other things such as the headers and also make sure to repeatedly check for errors.

It might seem like a lot of work because it is actually a lot of work. If you are publishing with a traditional publisher your manuscript may even get rejected if the formatting is not correct.

If you are self-publishing and if you do not correct the formatting then most self-publishers will not correct the formatting or bother doing it on their own regard.

But you do not need to worry because we are here to help you. We are Orange Publishers and we are the one and only traditional publishing company with the accessibility and ease of use that comes with self-publishing.

With us, you do not need to worry about book formatting because all you need to do is submit the text and we will do the formatting for you. Whether it is eBooks or paperback, we do everything from copyright filing to book cover design and printing as well as publishing.
