Question 1

What is self publishing and how is it different from traditional publishing?

Answer

Self publishing means you — the author — take the publishing decisions into your own hands. You retain full creative control, ownership of rights, and earn higher royalties. A platform like Evincepub provides all the professional services (editing, design, ISBN, printing, distribution, marketing) without you having to sign away your rights.

In traditional publishing, a publishing house acquires your book, controls the cover design, pricing, and marketing, and pays you a small royalty (typically 8–15%). It can take 1–3 years from manuscript to bookstore shelf. With self publishing in India through Evincepub, your book can be live in as few as 30 days — with 100% royalty going directly to you.

Question 2

Who can publish a book with Evincepub? Do I need to be a professional writer?

Answer

Anyone with a story, knowledge, or message can publish a book — no prior writing experience needed. Evincepub has helped publish books for:

First-time authors and storytellers
Academics and researchers publishing thesis-based books
Coaches, consultants, and business professionals
Poets, novelists, and self-help writers
Students publishing projects or research

If you need help writing your book from scratch, our ghostwriting services are available as an add-on.

Question 3

Do I need to have my complete manuscript ready before I start?

Answer

No — you can reach out to us at any stage. Whether you have just an idea, a partial manuscript, or a fully completed book, Evincepub will guide you. Our team of publishing consultants will assess your project and recommend the best path forward. You can register here and get a free consultation call.

Question 4

In which languages can I publish my book with Evincepub?

Can I customize my publishing package or pay only for specific services?

Answer

This makes it fully flexible for authors who already have some services handled and only need specific support.

Question 8

No hidden charges. The package price you see is what you pay (+ GST as applicable). Extra author copies beyond the included allocation are available at printing cost if you wish to order more. Everything else within the package is covered.

Question 9

Answer

Evincepub publishes your book within 30 days from the initial manuscript submission. This includes editing (where applicable), interior and cover designing, ISBN allocation, digital proof, and listing on online platforms. Timelines may slightly vary if extensive editing is needed, but your project manager will keep you updated at every step.

Question 11

What is an ISBN and will my book get one?

Answer

An ISBN (International Standard Book Number) is a unique 13-digit identifier assigned to every published book. It allows your book to be listed, discovered, and sold across online and offline bookstores globally. Yes — all Evincepub packages include an ISBN and barcode for your book at no extra charge.

Question 12

Will I get physical (printed) copies of my book?

Answer

Yes. All packages include a set number of author copies — from 20 copies (Rose) to 100 copies (Lotus). You can also order additional copies at printing cost any time. Evincepub maintains a lifetime inventory of your book, so copies are always available for reprint on demand.

Question 13

Do I retain copyright and ownership of my book?

Answer

Absolutely. 100% of the copyright remains with you, the author. Evincepub publishes under a non-exclusive agreement, meaning you are never locked in. You own your book and can choose to publish it with other platforms simultaneously or in the future. We are your publishing partner — not the owner of your creative work.

Question 14

How much royalty will I earn on my book sales?

Answer

Evincepub offers 100% royalty to authors. Unlike traditional publishers who pay 8–15% royalty, you keep the full profit from every book sold. Royalties are processed monthly and credited directly to your account. You can monitor all your sales and earnings in real time through the Evincepub Author Dashboard.

Question 15

What is government copyright registration and do I need it?

Answer

Government copyright registration is a formal registration of your book with India's Copyright Office, providing legal proof of ownership in case of any dispute. It is included in the Marigold and Lotus packages. While Indian copyright law automatically protects your work upon creation, a formal government registration strengthens your legal standing and is highly recommended for non-fiction, academic, and commercially marketed books.

Question 16

Where will my self published book be available for sale?

Answer

Your book will be distributed across all major online platforms:

India: Amazon.in, Flipkart, Snapdeal
International: Amazon.com (USA, UK, Europe), Barnes & Noble

Global Distribution (Marigold & Lotus): Ingram Spark — which connects to 40,000+ retailers, libraries, and bookstores worldwide

Yes. The Lotus Plan includes a Retail Display add-on option, allowing your book to be placed in physical bookstores and retail outlets in India. With Ingram Distribution (available in Marigold and Lotus), your book also becomes available to order by libraries and physical bookstores worldwide.

Question 18

Will my book be available as both a paperback and an eBook?
