I became an Authorized Book Publisher
In 2021, I became an authorized book publisher and published the 1st paperback with an ISBN number. The 1st book we have published under Shubhapallaba Publication is Shankhanada.
It was started in 2016 when I joined the editorial team of our college Magazine Quasar at Bhawanipatna. Then the plan was to publish my own magazine and it happened in 2018 with the help of Tapas bhai and lots of friends.
In 2020, I had published the 1st e-book under Shubhapallaba Publication during Raja Parba. This book was published without an ISBN number and is available on Shubhapallaba Store as well as Google Books and Google Playstore.
Before this, I had tried to publish a book for Kindle. That book was not under any publication house, it's a self-published book. During Durga puja 2019, I had published this photobook in Odia and it was the 1st Odia book on Amazon Kindle. But due to their language issues, they had removed that book from Kindle in 2021.
After publishing ebooks, we tried to publish paperbacks in 2021 and for that, we got the ISBN approval for the publication house. Shankhanda, a story collection by Pramod Kumar Panda is the 1st paperback of Shubhapallaba Publication.
We had planned for an online zoom call to inaugurate Shankhanada. Guests like writer Dr. Sulagna Mohanty, Binay Mohapatra, Dr. Trupti Ranjan Das, news presenter Itishree Nayak, journalist Saumya Parida, Mayuresh Das, and more than 50 Odia readers had joined this meeting from different places.
The news about Shankhanda's inauguration was published in different newspapers like Prameya, Dharitri, Swadhikara, Odisha Diary, Enews Insights, etc.
