Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
We use the latest Print-on-demand technology where the books are printed when we receive an order. The use of cutting edge technology allows us to print from a single copy to thousands of copies and to deliver the books to the customers in record time. It also ensures that we will be able to keep your book in stock without the risk of the book going out of print.
So, no matter how many copies of your books are getting sold, you do not have to worry about it. It will be completely managed by us and is included in our publishing packages.
We believe in complete transparency. We have a very detailed sales dashboard where you can see details of your books sold and royalty.
All our packages include 50 or more author copies. Once your book is published, we will ship the author copies to your address (in India). It is included in the package and you do not have to pay anything extra for that.
By default all our paid packages allow up to a given number of pages or words, whichever comes first. But this is not a limit. Additional pages over this limit can be added but they will be charged extra per page.
Note: On an average, a page contains around 300 words. So, if a package includes up to 100 pages, it means 100 pages or 30,000 words, whichever comes first.
There are multiple tools to count number of words in a text. You can just copy your manuscript/content in a Microsoft Word file. The number of words will display in the bottom left of the document.
Media insertions include adding images, figures, tables, diagrams, logos, illustrations etc. to the book interior. Usually we allow a certain number of free media insertions in the book. However, if there are a large number of media insertions, they will be charged.
In most cases, if your book is mainly text with a few media elements, it should be fine.
Please note that media elements have to be provided by the author in the prescribed format and high resolution.
The standard book sizes include-
- 5 inch x 8 inch
- 5.5 inch x 8.5 inch
Other sizes are also available but they will be charged extra.
Images are subject to copyright just like your content. Availability of an image or content on Google Search does not mean that we can use that image in our book. However, there are a lot of reputed stock image websites which offer good quality images for free.
A few of them are-
- www.pixabay.com
- www.pexels.com
- www.unsplash.com
- www.stocksnap.io
Though these sites claim that the images are free for commercial use, there may be elements like registered trademarks, logos, copyrighted content etc. in the images. So, authors should carefully check the guidelines of these websites and use their own discretion in using these images, to ensure that they do not inadvertently violate anyone’s intellectual property rights.
Royalty is calculated by deducting retail margin (charged by book sellers), printing cost, overhead costs, fee etc. from the sales price of the book. To calculate royalty, we have a royalty calculator on our website. Please fill the number of pages, your selected MRP for the book etc. to get an idea of the royalty you will get on the sale of your book.
Yes. You decide the price of your book. Our team will provide you a minimum price based on your book’s specifications. You can select any price above that for your book.
Yes, you can order additional author copies at discounted price. As they are author copies sold to the author at discounted price, you do not get any royalty on those.

For cover design, we use stock photographs and/or designs from iStockphoto (www.iStockphoto.com). These photographs and/or designs are then customized for your book cover. Based on your selected publishing package, we create one or more sample cover designs from which you can choose the cover design for your book.
If you want us to design extra cover samples beyond your package, they are chargeable at ₹1000 per sample.
Alternatively, you can select one image from millions of images available on the above stock images website and we will use that to design your book cover.
These packages do not include typing, editing & proofreading. You will have to provide final typed content. In case, you need editing and proofreading services for your book, it will be chargeable.
Once the book is designed & formatted, major modifications usually require complete rework. That’s why we normally do not allow revisions. As long as you are being reasonable in requesting the changes, we may accomodate it. However, if we feel that changes are causing major rework, you may have to bear extra charges for it.
Book interior can be colored. However, our publishing packages include black and white interiors. If you need colored interiors, it will be chargeable.
