Frequently asked questions

Who owns the copyright?

You do. You grant us a licence to publish and distribute; the copyright stays in your name.

When do I pay for a chapter or a book?

Only after review accepts it. Work that is not accepted pays nothing.

How are royalties paid?

50% of net receipts from Amazon, Kindle and our bookstore, the same for every book, with a statement every quarter.

Will my book count for API or CAS?

The UGC Regulations 2018 give 10 points for an authored book from a national publisher and 12 from an international one, 8 or 10 for editing a book and 5 for a chapter, but they do not define national or international. Each selection committee decides. We give you the record file a committee asks for: acceptance letter, review certificate, similarity report, ISBN record and publication certificate.

Do I need my own ISBN?

No. We register an ISBN for the paperback and a separate one for the e-book, for every book.

Can I publish in Hindi or bilingually?

Yes. Add Hindi or bilingual typesetting to any book for ₹4,999.
