From your laptop
to Amazon.
In 10 days.
Penray is a new kind of publishing imprint — built to take your manuscript from Word file to a live listing on Amazon, Flipkart, Kindle and Google Play in under two weeks. ISBN, cover, distribution. 100% royalty. From ₹2,499.
Publishing your book shouldn't feel like punishment.
Yet for most Indian authors, it does. Months of waiting. Vague promises. Surprise costs. And somewhere along the way, the joy of finishing your manuscript turns into the dread of dealing with your publisher.
It's been 6 weeks since I paid and I still haven't seen the cover.
They charged me ₹15,000 and didn't tell me cover revisions cost extra.
I had to chase them on WhatsApp every other day just to get a status update.
We built Penray because every author deserves to feel proud of choosing their publisher — not embarrassed to recommend them.
Four ways we make publishing feel different.
We rebuilt the workflow from the manuscript up. The result is a publishing experience that's faster, calmer, and more transparent than anything in the Indian budget segment today.

The Light Between Trains
A memoir twelve years in the writing, four months in the publishing. Anita Bhardwaj's first book traces a life of small Indian railway towns, late-life reinvention, and the long quiet that turned into a manuscript.
Hundreds of Indian authors.
One trusted publisher.
Engineers, teachers, retirees, homemakers, doctors, students — every kind of author. From debut poets in Hindi to non-fiction professionals in English. All published. All paid 100% royalty. All proud.
We built Penray Publication because we were tired of authors waiting.
For years we've watched first-time Indian authors spend their savings on publishers who took weeks to reply, months to deliver, and never bothered to explain where their book actually was in the process. The author had done the hardest part — writing the book. The publisher should have been the easy part.
So we rebuilt the workflow with one rule: never make the author wait for an answer. WhatsApp milestone updates. Cover drafts in 4 days. A live Amazon listing in 10. And honest, transparent pricing that doesn't hide cover revisions, ISBN fees, or distribution markups in the small print.
If you've finished writing a book — congratulations. The rest, we'll take care of.
