What began as a coincidence soon turned into one of the most rewarding experiences of my writing journey.<br \/>Investing in a new writer is always a risk, but Daastan took that leap of faith and showed me \u201cEk Kiran Andheron Mein\u201d and gave me a \u201cShanakht\u201d as a writer.<br \/>I\u2019m truly grateful for the opportunities and guidance Daastan provided me, from encouraging to mentoring and publishing. For me it\u2019s more than just a platform\u2014it\u2019s a place where new writers find their voice and recognition.

As a new writer, I always assumed that entering the publishing world\u2014especially from Pakistan\u2014would be intimidating and out of reach. That mindset changed the moment I connected with Dastaan.<br \/><br \/>Their publishing process was exceptionally smooth and reassuring. After I registered, Narmeen, their consultant and editor, handled my manuscript with remarkable professionalism, guiding me through every stage with clarity and patience. With their support, I successfully published two books: Love, Lucknow aur Lahore, which received immense appreciation, and a short story titled Gol Roti.<br \/><br \/>What truly elevates Dastaan is the authenticity of their team. Ommar, Narmeen, and every member of their staff were warm, attentive, and genuinely invested in my growth as a writer. Their encouragement turned what could have been a daunting experience into an inspiring milestone in my creative journey.<\/span><\/div><div class=\"wp-google-img\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"rpi-thumb\" src=\"https:\/\/daastan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/ChIJTbnDYuun3zgRejHkb0KyAVE_img_2b077eccc67338352682e7a4bab1842a.jpg\" alt=\"Photo from customer review\" loading=\"lazy\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"rpi-thumb\" src=\"https:\/\/daastan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/ChIJTbnDYuun3zgRejHkb0KyAVE_img_6d7d5a914c948a6a269ca7f5d705424b.jpg\" alt=\"Photo from customer review\" loading=\"lazy\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"rpi-thumb\" src=\"https:\/\/daastan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/ChIJTbnDYuun3zgRejHkb0KyAVE_img_a1a0f3a85c7c204e87a7a0ad7054829b.jpg\" alt=\"Photo from customer review\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/div><\/div><svg height=\"18\" width=\"18\" role=\"none\"><use href=\"#grw-google\"\/><\/svg><\/div><\/div><div class=\"grw-review\"><div class=\"grw-review-inner grw-backgnd\"><div class=\"wp-google-left\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/daastan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/ChIJTbnDYuun3zgRejHkb0KyAVE_e0d5228c59153291d4ced4403ac7fc1d.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"grw-review-avatar\" alt=\"Haroon Awan profile picture\" width=\"50\" height=\"50\" onerror=\"if(this.src!='https:\/\/daastan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/widget-google-reviews\/assets\/img\/guest.png')this.src='https:\/\/daastan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/widget-google-reviews\/assets\/img\/guest.png';\" ><a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/contrib\/107058150272857233753\/reviews\" class=\"wp-google-name\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Haroon Awan<\/a><div class=\"wp-google-time\" data-time=\"1763721474\">10:37 21 Nov 25<\/div><\/div><div class=\"wp-google-stars\"><span class=\"wp-stars\"><span class=\"wp-star\"><svg height=\"18\" width=\"18\" role=\"none\"><use href=\"#grw-star\"\/><\/svg><\/span><span class=\"wp-star\"><svg height=\"18\" width=\"18\" role=\"none\"><use href=\"#grw-star\"\/><\/svg><\/span><span class=\"wp-star\"><svg height=\"18\" width=\"18\" role=\"none\"><use href=\"#grw-star\"\/><\/svg><\/span><span class=\"wp-star\"><svg height=\"18\" width=\"18\" role=\"none\"><use href=\"#grw-star\"\/><\/svg><\/span><span class=\"wp-star\"><svg height=\"18\" width=\"18\" role=\"none\"><use href=\"#grw-star\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/div><div class=\"wp-google-wrap\"><div class=\"wp-google-feedback grw-scroll\" ><span class=\"wp-google-text\">With grateful appreciation and thanks to Daastan<br \/><br \/>As a first-time author venturing into the literary world with both excitement and hesitation, I could not have found a better publishing partner than Daastan Pvt Ltd.

Their facilitation turned what could have been an intimidating journey into one marked by encouragement and trust.<br \/><br \/>The quality of the finished product speaks for itself - readers and recipients of my books consistently comment on the exceptional standard of printing and presentation, especially preservation of the design colours. The books look and feel beautiful in the hand, which has enhanced both their reach and reception. For any author, whether stepping into print for the first time or seasoned in the craft, I wholeheartedly recommend Daastan as a go-to publisher and printer. They are capable, creative, and above all, committed to the stories their authors want to tell.
