A story of four young authors, who explore the nature of relationships around themselves, amidst the set up of the Indian publishing industry makes the plot for Rahul Saini's recently released novel "Just for You".
"My book talks about the idea of publishers cheating the authors with their royalties, plagiarism and the practices authors adopt to become popular," says Saini.
The author has explored the contemporary publishing scenario, trying to bust the facade of the best-selling novel. Saini has tried to drive home the truth with the use of almost real characters.
"The book is not really talking about people; it is a general trend of writing in India. The book deals with general tactics used in the publishing industry to get noticed. All of them are following the same pattern of those who are on the top, emulating them," says Saini.
The plot of the story, shares Saini comes from his interactions with young authors who were in touch with him and had complaints to share about "small, unrecognised publishing houses" and he thought it made for an interesting and burning story and so he decided to pen it down.
"All of them told me how their publishers were cheating them with their royalties, how at times their stories and the titles of their novels were stolen and passed on to other authors and how some other authors were jealous of other authors and would do anything to bring them down," says the author.
The book, published by Penguin also carries Saini's take on aspiring young authors and the unfair practices persons they indulge in to get published.
