A publishing house built from a writer's desk

Verzove began not as a business plan but as a gap noticed by someone already inside the work — a writer who had been through the process and decided the next house would be different.

Vandana Vishwakarma

21. Writer. Founder.

Vandana is a published author, ghostwriter, and MA holder in English and Philosophy — she built Verzove in Indore because the house she needed did not exist yet.

Every manuscript that comes through Verzove is read by someone who has sat on the other side of that submission. That is not a brand position — it is just how the work runs here.

No committees. No geography. No ranked lists.

Verzove exists to publish Indian writers wherever they are — not just the ones in the right city or with the right connections. Every decision here comes from a writer's read, not a marketing brief.

If your manuscript is ready — or nearly ready — the process is straightforward. Thirty days from submission to shelves, handled by people who write.
