Daastan Publishers is a Pakistani self-publishing company, founded by Syed Ommer Amer in 2014.
History[edit]
In 2014, Syed Ommer Amer, a university student and writer, launched Daastan as Pakistan's first for-profit self-publishing company. He, along with his two friends, submitted a proposal for a self-publishing platform to the Plan9's 5th incubation cycle, which is Pakistan's largest technology incubator managed by the Government of Punjab, Pakistan. The proposal was chosen and funded.[1][2][3]
Daastan also arranges story writing competitions and a podcast, Nishast, for new writers.[2]
Projects[edit]
In January 2016, Daastan was branched into two projects; Qissa, a self-publishing wing for writers to self-publish themselves and freelance wing, a marketplace for Pakistani writers.[1][2] The portal of Qissa has been modeled on Amazon's CreateSpace.[3][4]
