Coffee with Chetan Dalvi


We recently met Chetan Dalvi, author of the book: Soni Please Come Back. A humble, down to earth guy, he shared with us his experience of writing a book, over a cup of coffee at Juhu Cafe Coffee Day. The book was his way of giving voice to emotions locked inside him. Few of our followers had asked us some questions in the past related to book publishing etc , hope this blog helps you & others, who wish to write.


  • Book Publishing can take around 6-7 months of time. This is because the publishers get around 100 scripts on a daily basis. So for the publisher to read and like your script can take time.
  • If a publisher likes your script, they will edit, proof-read, & Market it for you .
  •  You can also get your book self published, which basically means you pay around (40-50k) * & a self publishing company  like http://www.power-publishers.com will help you .    
  • Book writing is not always about making money. It can help you overcome your fear or limitations.
  • If you write a book, it is important that you promote it. Create a Twitter Handle, or a Page and promote it as FaceBook Ad ..
  • It is important for a person to write something for 30 mins/60 mins daily, if he/she wants to write a book.
  • ISBN & Copyright are two important things when it comes to writing a book. Make sure, you have both of them for your book.
  • When you write about something, write with Passion.
  • Don't think of fame while writing a book. Don't let negative forces get in your head. Avoid discussing your work with people while writing the book.

Hope, some of the above points are useful to you.
