“I would definitely recommend this course. If you want to get into the publishing industry, The Bound Publishing Course is the way to go!”
— Madhav MehrotraEditor, Cactus Communications
“As someone who has been entertaining ideas of starting a magazine and publishing house, the capstone project was the need of the hour. It gave me an insight into what it takes to start a company and keep it going. I couldn't have asked for anything better.”
— Parvathi AjithContent Marketing Specialist, Notion Press
“Thank you from the bottom of my heart. The mentorship I got and the friends I made are truly special. It was the best decision I made in 2024. I can't explain how emotional I am right now.”
— Krishita KandoiCopyeditor, HarperCollins Publishers
“The Bound Publishing course has been an incredible experience. I registered for it hoping to be introduced to the workings of the publishing industry in India, and that is exactly what I attained. Specialising in Book Editing, I am now well-versed in the various types of editing and the intricacies of editing a book. Bound India has, through its publishing course, created a unique space for interaction between newcomers to the industry and its veterans.”
— Dhvani ShahJunior Editor, Karadi Tales
“The course was incredibly informative and insightful but one thing I love is that through the assignments and the presentations I think I’ve become much more confident in my own ideas and I’m very grateful for that! I couldn’t have hoped/imagined a better preparation for entering the publishing industry. I still refer to my TBPC notes almost every day.”
— Ananya EndowAssistant Copyeditors, Fingerprint!
“My experience of the Bound Publishing Course has been nothing short of amazing. As someone who had absolutely no idea about the publishing industry, I now feel equipped with so much knowledge and clarity that I can confidently start my professional journey in that direction.”
— Zalak ShahMarketing Specialist, Booknerds
“A childhood dream come true! From being curious about the publishing industry to learning about its workings from insiders and professionals has been truly enlightening and fulfilling. My heart is full. The faculty and the guest faculty have been so kind, so welcoming and so honest that I can't believe I got a chance to actually be a part of this course! The biggest takeaway from this course has been the friends I made along the way: my support group. I am so glad I found a lovely (and incredibly funny) community when all I expected was to learn more about publishing. This course helped me with both. I am going to miss everything about the classes.”
— Aishwarya Aji MattammelEditorial Assistant, Unibrow Stories
“Upon discovering Bound's Publishing Course, I recognized it as the perfect opportunity to dive back into a classroom setting and acquire in-depth knowledge of the industry. Guided by the incredible team at Bound and their guest faculty, I learned the foundations and gained hands-on experience in various facets of the publishing process. Specializing in marketing and PR, I had the opportunity to create marketing campaigns for various intellectual properties from scratch. The encouragment and support I recieved throughout the program were exceptional, making this an invaluable experience. I am excited to find my role within this dynamic industry and continue to learn and grow!”
— Radheye ThakkerFormer Social Media Intern, Bound
“The course was consistently worth the commitment and the money spent. The curriculum of this course was unmatched in comparison to the other options available in this field, and the topics covered have been relevant, realistically useful, and promising for various kinds of professionals and students seeking a breakthrough in the publishing world. Overall, the quality of the guest speakers and the sessions conducted by the team at Bound was invaluable. I'm thankful to Bound for having facilitated a platform like that for me!”
— Veni KhareContent Researcher and Scriptwriter, Floydian Cookery
I found Bound's Editing & Publishing workshop quite useful as I had no prior knowledge of how publishing works - the concept of query letters, importance of the body of work, how publishers decide what to commission, etc. Thanks for your insights!
— Ila ReddyPhilanthropic Communications , Urgent Action Fund, Asia and Pacific
— Ila Reddy
This is a great workshop especially if you're a beginner and are curious to know more about the world of editing & publishing. All the instructors are patient, supportive and well versed with their respective areas of expertise.
— Sangeetha Menon Rights Manager, Tulika Books
— Sangeetha Menon
This was really amazing! I never thought that there could be a session where someone could actually teach you about publishing. This workshop was a unique experience. I had very little information about traditional publishing, and other technicalities. I really appreciate the section of the course which focused on thought process of editors!
— Deepika MishraFreelance Content writer
— Deepika Mishra
Thank you Tara and Aishwarya for the sessions on Editing & Publishing! Had some great takeaways. I found the chance to get personal feedback amazing, along with the tips and tricks mentioned.
— Jas HariaSoftware Engineer, Amazon
— Jas Haria
It was a great experience to be immersed in the world of editing and publishing. Aishwarya, Michelle and Tara were informative and interactive, drawing on their experience and insight to offer us a peek at the thought processes of editors and publishers.
— Farrel D'souzaFreelance writer
— Farrel D'souza
I think the editing course was as close to perfect as anything is going to get! Bound is brilliant! I did two online courses with them, on the basis of which I decided to get my novella manuscript edited by them. I found the entire team to be knowledgeable, insightful, helpful, kind, and polite - not to mention funny! All of them provided good instruction during the classes on complex things in ways which were easy to follow, and that makes recommending Bound a no - brainer for your creative needs.
— Madhav MehrotraFreelance Writer
— Madhav Mehrotra
For anyone interested in getting an informative and engaging glimpse into Indian publishing, ‘The Book People’ podcast could be an ideal place from where they can start. Aishwarya is a wonderfully witty and involved host, who is interested in collecting anecdotal evidence from various publishing professionals, and through this series she and her team attempt to demystify the Indian publishing space and dissect it by talking to people who work behind the scenes. If you love books, this one’s for you.
— Sayantan GhoshExecutive Editor, Simon & Schuster India
— Sayantan Ghosh
All the sessions were amazing. It was a great learning opportunity. I met not only some amazing mentors but also a group of like minded folks with whom I loved having bookish conversations and peer feedback sessions with. All the days were very well organised and I couldn't have asked for more from a retreat. I made memories of a lifetime.
— Ushma ShahSourcing Manager, Infosys BPM
— Ushma Shah
What do I say about Bound's classes? As the Aladdin song goes, it opened a whole new world for me. An extremely well-planned and executed workshop. I attended both the Basic and Advanced levels and the insights, tips, readings , activities were all very enriching. Would love to attend more workshops with Bound in the future.
— Mohua ChatterjeeCommunication Consultant, & Personality Development Coach
— Mohua Chatterjee
The Bound Virtual Retreat was exactly what I needed to fill in the gap between a vague story idea and its actual realisation on paper. Each session was planned extremely well and we received keen insights into the various aspects of writing, from the craft of good storytelling to crisp editing and even pitching and a look into the working of the publishing industry. I loved my sessions with my mentor which helped clarify doubts, gain confidence and establish a doable daily writing routine. I've made good friends and found a tribe and can't wait to do the next Bound workshop!
— Alisha PurandareBlogger & German Language Tutor
— Alisha Purandare
As someone who has studied creative writing at the MA level, I can confidently say that this is one of the most effective workshops I have come across with ways to really work on the craft. Michelle is also steeped in bookish knowledge and that's exactly the kind of instructor you want for this purpose. She also pushes you out of your comfort zone and with her in-class writing prompts and having you critically analyse stories.
— Neharika GuptaAuthor, Adulting, Harper Collins India
— Neharika Gupta
Facilitating the Virtual Retreat writing workshop with Bound was an enriching experience. I must applaud Bound's meticulous planning and organization which streamlined the entire process and left us facilitators to focus on mentoring. The enthusiasm of the organizers inspired the participants to be more involved too, and it was a pleasure to guide them as their writing coach to put their best writing forward. I hope to conduct many more such writing workshops with the Bound team.

Reliable, prompt, and efficient – recruiting candidates whose abilities are vouched for by The Bound Publishing Course was a neat affair.
— Karadi TalesRecruitment Partner
Hiring candidates from Bound Academy turned out to be an outstanding experience for us. The entire recruitment process unfolded seamlessly, allowing us to efficiently secure a few editor positions for our organization in no time.
— Payal MehtaCactus Communications, Manager - Editorial Talent Acquisition
When Bound approached us with a unique course on publishing, we knew it would be a very niche opportunity for our students to explore a new field and gain industry access. The course provided ample support and knowledge for first timers who weren’t yet well versed with the industry requirements. It also created an ecosystem of peers who were passionate about the world of books which is commendable given that it was completely online.
