If your manuscript meets the required standards, it is approved and you will be notified through Email.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If any improvements are needed, the editors will guide you on what needs to be revised.

Authors who come prepared can move ahead without availing additional design services.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your book cover plays a crucial role in making a strong first impression. At Daastan, authors have multiple options when it comes to cover design<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Design it yourself using online tools like Canva<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Take help from a friend or designer if you already have someone in mind<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Avail Daastan\u2019s professional design services, handled by an experienced in-house design team<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Daastan\u2019s design team has created some of the most impactful and visually striking book covers in the Pakistani publishing space. Revisions are offered based on the selected package to ensure authors are completely satisfied with the final design.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Step 5: Book Registration &amp; Legal Protection<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Every book must have an ISBN number and barcode for legal registration. Authors can avail\u00a0 Daastan services to handle this paperwork with the government.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Standard registration takes 7 days and costs around 5000 PKR. Urgent 48-hour service is also available at a higher fee.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This step is mandatory to legally protect your work.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Step 6: Choose Your Publishing Route<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Every author has different goals, timelines, and budgets. That\u2019s why <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/daastan.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Daastan<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> gives you the flexibility to choose a publishing route that fits your needs best.

Daastan accepts manuscripts in both soft (typed) format and handwritten notes, to make this process easier for all writers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once the print-ready file and all specifications are finalized and approved by the author, Daastan moves forward with the printing process, which typically takes around two weeks.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Step 8: Sales And Distribution\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sales and distribution are primarily managed through our digital platform, Mera Qissa, which functions as an online bookstore for both eBooks and printed books. Authors can easily track their book sales, reviews, and overall performance through their Qissa dashboard.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It gives authors full visibility and control over their published work and allows them to connect directly with readers, while our team handles order processing and delivery.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Daastan also offers Print-on-Demand (POD) services; it allows authors to print copies only when a book is ordered. This model helps new writers manage printing costs efficiently while gradually building their readership without the pressure of large upfront print runs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition, for authors who wish to sell their books in physical stores, Daastan coordinates offline distribution through its network of local distribution partners, ensuring orders are shipped reliably across Pakistan.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Authors who have already published their books can also avail Daastan\u2019s book distribution services as a standalone service to distribute their books across Pakistan.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Step 9: Marketing &amp; Promotion<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/daastan.com\/blog\/how-to-market-a-book\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Book marketing<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is an essential part of the publishing journey, it helps your book to gain the visibility and reach needed to connect with its target readers<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Daastan helps authors market their work through a comprehensive 100-day marketing plan, included with the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.meraqissa.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">annual membership<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. This plan begins before the book launch and continues well after the book is published online and made available for sale. The goal is to gradually build interest, strengthen the author\u2019s online presence, and maximize reach through Daastan\u2019s own platforms.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The marketing journey is divided into clear phases:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Introduction Phase<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This phase focuses on introducing the book to the target audience and creating initial awareness through planned campaigns.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Interest Development Phase<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To drive engagement, Daastan runs interactive and creative activities such as:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Themed promotional posts<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Book cover reveals<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Contests and giveaways<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Author storytelling<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Promotional videos shared on Daastan\u2019s social media channels<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><b>Book Launch Phase<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During the launch, Daastan announces the book on its digital platform, Mera Qissa, and encourages pre-orders. The team may also collaborate with reviewers and influencers to generate authentic reviews and expand visibility.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Post-Launch Promotion<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Marketing continues even after release through eye-catching posters, giveaways, live author sessions, and featured blog content.
