- How much does it cost to publish a book with you?
- Plans begin at $360 for our Starter tier (proofreading, cover design and KDP-ready formatting), move up to $965 for Professional (complete editing plus a premium cover, IngramSpark setup and a press release), and reach $2,400 for the full Launchpad experience (editing, design, global distribution and a 90-day launch campaign). See the pricing page for a line-by-line comparison.
- How long does it take?
- Most manuscripts move through the process in 30 to 90 days, with the exact window depending on how much editing is required and how many rounds of revision you want. We lock in a delivery date in writing before any work begins.
- Do I keep the rights to my book?
- Absolutely — in full. The copyright to your manuscript stays with you, and once your final invoice is settled you also own the cover art and interior layout we create for you.
- Do I keep my royalties?
- Yes — 100% of them. We bill a single flat fee for the production work and never take a cut of your earnings. The retailers (Amazon, Apple Books and the rest) pay you directly.
- Will my book be on Amazon?
- Yes — across every Amazon marketplace worldwide (US, UK, Canada, Australia, India and all the others), plus IngramSpark to reach everything beyond Amazon: Apple Books, Kobo, Barnes & Noble, libraries and independent bookshops.
- Do you handle eBook and audiobook too?
- We do — both formats, and both come bundled into the Professional and Launchpad plans. On the Starter plan, audiobook production is available as an optional add-on.
- Can I order just a few printed copies?
- Of course — you can order as little as a single copy at print-on-demand rates. Larger print runs of 500 or more unlock wholesale per-unit pricing.
- What if I don't like the cover?
- We go back to the drawing board. We'll keep iterating until it's right — Professional and Launchpad come with unlimited revisions, while Starter includes three initial concepts and three rounds of changes.
- Do I need an ISBN?
- Yes, one for each format you publish in. Every package includes ISBN registration at no extra cost, handled for you through the appropriate official agency.
- What about GST?
- We are GST-registered, so each invoice includes GST and a tax invoice is issued to you automatically. Clients based outside the country are billed at the zero-rated GST that applies to exported services.
- Do you work with authors outside India?
- Yes — that's the heart of what we do. We publish authors across 180+ countries, and your titles are set up for worldwide distribution no matter where you call home.
- Can I write in Hindi or another language?
- Yes — our in-house team handles English along with Hindi, Tamil, Marathi, Bengali, Telugu and Kannada, and we can line up editorial help for many other languages through our partner network.
