FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
WHY DO YOU OFFER EXACTLY FOUR PUBLISHING PACKAGES?
Too many fragmented options create confusion rather than confidence. Instead of a maze of overpriced a-la-carte charges, we bundled everything an author realistically needs at each milestone into four structured packages. Bundling keeps your production cost economical, makes side-by-side comparison effortless, and ensures you never pay for services your manuscript does not need yet.
WHICH PUBLISHING PACKAGE IS RIGHT FOR MY BOOK?
Match the package to your publishing goal. Plain Water (INR 8,899 + GST) suits first-time authors testing the waters on a lean budget. Soda Water (INR 14,899 + GST) is our nationwide bestseller with Amazon.in and Flipkart listings plus 10 free copies. Mint Soda (INR 28,899 + GST) adds 1 Round Regular Editing, Government Copyright Registration, and a physical Pre-Print Dummy Book. Premium Soda (INR 44,899 + GST) is our flagship launchpad featuring International Distribution, a custom Author Website, a Cinematic Book Trailer, and a 7-Day Facebook Ad Campaign.
HOW IS NET ROYALTY CALCULATED AND WHEN DO I GET PAID?
We follow a strict, transparent formula across every package: Net Royalty = MRP minus CPB (Cost Per Book for production and assembly). Authors retain 100% of this net margin. Sales numbers are tracked transparently in your Author Dashboard, and royalties are calculated and transferred directly to your bank account every 3 months (quarterly payout cycle).
ARE THERE ANY HIDDEN MAINTENANCE FEES OR RENEWAL BILLS?
None. The package price covers every deliverable listed on this page, with standard 18% government GST applied at checkout. There are zero annual maintenance charges, zero listing renewal fees, and zero surprise bills after your book is published.
WHAT DOES “1 ROUND REGULAR EDITING” IN MINT & PREMIUM SODA COVER?
The 1 Round Regular Editing included in Mint Soda and Premium Soda strictly covers punctuation, spacing, typographical cleanup, and basic spelling corrections to ensure clean readability. It does not cover heavy developmental rewriting or structural ghostwriting, which can be ordered separately via our Editing & Proofreading or Ghostwriting Services.
CAN I START WITH A SMALLER PACKAGE AND UPGRADE LATER?
Yes. You can begin with Plain Water or Soda Water and upgrade or add specialized marketing, copyright registration, or Global Print Network syndication as your readership expands. You can also split your package payment using our Pay-Relax installment option.
HOW DO I ORDER ADDITIONAL PHYSICAL COPIES OF MY BOOK?
Beyond the complimentary copies included in your package (2 in Plain Water, 10 in Soda Water, 15 in Mint Soda and Premium Soda), you can order additional printed copies anytime at base Cost Per Book (CPB) printing rates with zero retail markup. Check your exact per-copy print cost using our Author’s Copy Cost Calculator.
WILL I REVIEW AND APPROVE MY BOOK BEFORE IT GOES TO PRINT?
Always. Every author receives complete digital proofs of the interior typesetting and cover layout for sign-off before publication. Furthermore, Mint Soda and Premium Soda authors receive a physical Pre-Print Dummy Book shipped to their address for hands-on inspection prior to final inventory printing.
WHO RETAINS LEGAL COPYRIGHT AND OWNERSHIP OF THE MANUSCRIPT?
You retain 100% legal authorship, copyright, and creative ownership of your work across every package. In Mint Soda and Premium Soda, we also file and secure your formal Indian Government Copyright Registration certificate on your behalf.
