In what is being touted as the biggest advance paid to an Indian author by a home -grown publishing house, Westland has given Amish Tripathi, the author of the Shiva trilogy, Rs.5 crore—close to $1 million—as advance for his next series.
Five lakh copies of his mythological fantasy The Oath of the Vayuputras sold within a day of its release earlier this week. Westland, which published the trilogy, is paying the big fat advance even though the writer is still to decide what his next book will be about.
