- How much does it cost to publish a book with you?
- Our packages start at ₹29,999 for a Starter (proofread, cover design, KDP formatting), ₹79,999 for Professional (full editing + premium cover + IngramSpark + press release) and ₹1,99,999 for our full Launchpad service (editing + design + distribution + 90-day launch). The pricing page has the full breakdown.
- How long does it take?
- 30 to 90 days for a typical manuscript, depending on the editing scope and revisions. We commit to a date in writing before work starts.
- Do I keep the rights to my book?
- Yes — fully. You retain copyright in your manuscript and receive rights to the cover artwork and interior formatting we produce, once your final payment clears.
- Do I keep my royalties?
- Yes — every rupee. We charge a one-time service fee for the production work; we don't take a royalty share. Retailers (Amazon, Apple Books, etc.) pay you directly.
- Will my book be on Amazon?
- Yes — on Amazon globally (US, UK, India and all other Amazon stores), and also on IngramSpark for everything else (Apple Books, Kobo, Barnes & Noble, libraries, indie bookstores).
- Do you handle eBook and audiobook too?
- Yes — both, and both are included in the Professional and Launchpad packages. Audiobook is available as an upsell on Starter.
- Can I order just a few printed copies?
- Yes — minimum order is one copy. Print-on-demand pricing applies. Bigger runs (500+) qualify for wholesale unit pricing.
- What if I don't like the cover?
- We redesign it. We keep refining until you're happy — there's no revision cap on Professional or Launchpad packages, and three concepts plus three revisions on Starter.
- Do I need an ISBN?
- Yes, one per format. We register Indian ISBNs free of charge through the official Indian agency as part of every package.
- What about GST?
- We're GST-registered. Every invoice carries GST and we provide a tax invoice automatically. International clients are billed at zero-rated GST per service-export rules.
- Do you work with authors outside India?
- Yes — we work with Indian-origin authors and global authors. Distribution is set up globally regardless of where you live.
- Can I write in Hindi or another Indian language?
- Yes — we work in Hindi, Tamil, Marathi, Bengali, Telugu and Kannada in-house, and can arrange editorial support for other languages through our network.
