Self-publishing is the process where authors publish their books independently without relying on traditional publishers. It gives writers full creative control, faster timelines, and complete ownership of their work. That’s why, at WordU, we offer India’s most affordable self-publishing platform with worldwide distribution, dedicated marketing, no word limits, flexible publishing models, unlimited author copies at production cost, minimal editorial review, and personalised one-on-one guidance for every author.

wordU welcomes unsolicited manuscripts across all genres — fiction, non-fiction, poetry, memoir, children’s literature, academic writing, and more. We value creative freedom and accept submissions 24×7.
