Bare Thoughts Lit (BT Lit) is a next-generation self-publishing and author-empowerment firm redefining how Indian writers bring their stories to life. Guided by its tagline — ‘Walk in with a bare thought, walk out with a published book’ — BT Lit stands apart through its full-cycle, life-long commitment to authors, integrating multi-channel, multi-media promotions long after the book is out.

Leading the firm are Kalam Babu, Lavanya Nukavarapu, and Swapnil Saurav — each an accomplished author in their own right. Their presence at the helm fosters deep literary empathy: they understand the craft, the market and the emotional stakes in publishing. This rare combination of writer-leadership gives BT Lit credibility and vision that few self-publishing firms can match.

Bare Thoughts Lit democratizes publishing by blending affordability with premium quality — because every story deserves its spotlight. With over 50 titles published and counting, the startup is rapidly emerging as a benchmark for independent publishing in India.

At its core, BT Lit offers a comprehensive suite of author services — manuscript development, professional editing, ISBN registration, cover design, interior layout and typesetting, ebook and paperback formatting, inventory management and distribution across multiple platforms. Services are structured into three flexible packages — Flash, Novella, and Epic — designed specifically for the Indian market, offering high royalties (up to 80%) and worldwide reach through major online platforms.

Beyond production, BT Lit’s defining strength lies in the promotion continuum — book trailers, social-media campaigns, media outreach, author branding, podcasts, webinars, virtual book tours, and sustained PR across print, digital, audio and video channels. With BT Lit, authors gain more than a publishing partner — they gain a lifelong platform that continues amplifying their work across formats, markets, and media.
