Getting Started with Self Publishing
What is self publishing and how is it different from traditional publishing?
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.

Who can publish a book with Evincepub? Do I need to be a professional writer?
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
Do I need to have my complete manuscript ready before I start?
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.
In which languages can I publish my book with Evincepub?
Evincepub publishes books in all Indian and international languages including English, Hindi, Bengali, Telugu, Tamil, Marathi, Gujarati, Kannada, Malayalam, Punjabi, and many more. We support a wide range of genres — Fiction, Non-Fiction, Academic, Poetry, Self-Help, Children's Books, and more.
Packages & Cost of Book Publishing in India
How much does it cost to publish a book in India with Evincepub?
The cost of book publishing in India at Evincepub depends on the package you choose:
- Rose Plan – ₹9,999 + GST: Best for first-time authors wanting to self publish quickly. Includes ISBN, eBook + Paperback, basic cover, and online distribution on Amazon & Flipkart.
- Tulip Plan – ₹24,999 + GST: Includes editing up to 20K words, advanced cover design, video trailer, podcast feature, and more marketing tools.
- Marigold Plan – ₹54,999 + GST: Ideal for serious authors — includes premium design, editing up to 40K words, author website, 30 book reviews, Ingram global distribution, government copyright registration.
- Lotus Plan – ₹1,24,999 + GST: The bestseller package — complete marketing suite including audiobook, press release, email marketing, Amazon Prime placement, and 100 author copies.
Which self publishing package is right for me?
It depends on your goal:
- Want to publish quickly with minimal cost? → Rose Plan
- Want editing support + some marketing? → Tulip Plan
- Serious about reach, with a full marketing push? → Marigold Plan
- Want to become a bestselling author with maximum visibility? → Lotus Plan
Can I customize my publishing package or pay only for specific services?
Yes. If no existing package fits your exact needs, Evincepub allows you to select individual services — such as only cover design, only editing, or only marketing — and pay just for those. This makes it fully flexible for authors who already have some services handled and only need specific support.
Are there any hidden charges in the publishing packages?
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.
The Book Publishing Process
How do I publish my book with Evincepub? What is the step-by-step process?
Here's how to publish your book with Evincepub:
- Step 1 – Register: Fill out the registration form at evincepub.com/registration with details about your book.
- Step 2 – Consultation: Our publishing consultant will call you to understand your needs and recommend the right plan.
- Step 3 – Choose Package: Select a publishing package or customize your own service list.
- Step 4 – Manuscript Submission: Submit your manuscript. Our dedicated project manager takes it forward.
- Step 5 – Editing & Design: We edit, proofread, and design your cover and interior as per your package.
- Step 6 – Review & Approve: You review the digital proof and approve the final version.
- Step 7 – Go Live: Your book goes live on Amazon, Flipkart, Kindle, and other platforms within 30 days.
How long does it take to publish a book in India?
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.
What is an ISBN and will my book get one?
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.
Will I get physical (printed) copies of my book?
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.
Rights, Royalty & Legal Protection
Do I retain copyright and ownership of my book?
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.
How much royalty will I earn on my book sales?
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.
What is government copyright registration and do I need it?
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.
Distribution & Where Your Book Will Be Sold
Where will my self published book be available for sale?
Your book will be distributed across all major online platforms:
- India: Amazon.in, Flipkart, Snapdeal
- International: Amazon.com (USA, UK, Europe), Barnes & Noble
- eBook Platforms: Kindle, Google Books, Google Play Store, Kobo
- Global Distribution (Marigold & Lotus): Ingram Spark — which connects to 40,000+ retailers, libraries, and bookstores worldwide
Can my book be sold in physical bookstores in India?
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.
Will my book be available as both a paperback and an eBook?
Yes. All packages include both a Paperback and eBook edition. Higher packages (Marigold and Lotus) also include a Hardback option. The Lotus Plan additionally includes an Audiobook — a rapidly growing format that reaches readers who prefer to listen.
