The number of free copies alone made it worth it — I sold most of them at my launch event and broke even on day one.

Good To Know

Frequently asked questions

Always. You retain 100% ownership and full rights to your work. We publish under a non-exclusive arrangement, so you're free to do more with your book in future.

You keep 100% of the profit on copies sold through our own bookstore, and a high share (75–80% depending on package) on sales through Amazon and our vendor network, after printing costs. Your manager explains the exact numbers for your book up front.

Printed copies of your own book, included free with your package — 25 with Starter, 100 with Professional, and 250 with Premium. Gift them, sell them at events, or stock them locally. Need more? You can reorder at discounted printing rates.

Yes — we publish in English, Hindi, and other Indian languages. Mention your language when you get in touch and we'll match you with the right editor.

Once we have your final manuscript: about 15 days for Starter, 21 days for Professional, and 30 days for Premium, depending on the editing involved.

That's fine — get in touch anyway. Your manager can guide you on getting it ready, and we'll plan your publishing timeline around it.
