Why authors chose us

"We compared several publishers."

Real author decision stories.

★★★★★
I compared three publishers. Penray gave me the same scope for ₹4,000, faster, and the cover was honestly better.

Most-chosen for a reason. The proofreading caught things I missed, and the 10-post launch kit kept me posting for a month after launch.

They had my non-fiction on Amazon in {strong}9 days{/strong}. The cover went through two rounds, the proofread caught real errors, and the launch kit kept me visible for a month. Best ₹6,000 I have spent on my practice.

The author website is what closed it for me. By launch week, my book had its own home — not just an Amazon listing.

Poetry usually feels like nobody will print it. Penray priced my collection the same as English fiction. No "regional" surcharge, no excuses. Just my book, on Kindle, in my language.

I just wanted to test if anyone would read it. ₹2,499 to put my poems on Kindle was the easiest yes I've said all year.

Questions about packages

Pricing & packages FAQ.

Can I upgrade tiers later? +
Yes — you can upgrade from any tier up to the moment your cover is signed off. The price difference is what you pay; nothing is re-charged.
Is GST included in the package price? +
No — package prices are pre-GST. The displayed "Bill ₹X incl. GST" line on each card shows the final amount you'll be invoiced.
Do you offer refunds if I change my mind? +
Yes — stage-based refunds, in writing. 75% before cover, 70% after cover, 30% after interior, 0% after POD approval. Published on our About page, not buried in legalese.
What's the difference between Essential and Professional? +
Professional adds premium cover design (2 revisions vs 1), basic proofreading for manuscripts up to 30k words, a 10-post social launch kit, and priority WhatsApp support.
Are the 100% royalties really 100%? +
Yes. Every rupee your book earns after print and distribution costs is yours — no commission, no platform cut from our side. Royalty is paid monthly via UPI/NEFT.
Can I use the custom brand-builder package for a single book? +
Brand-builder is built for multi-book deals (3+ titles over 2 years) or career-defining single launches that need a website, ads, and PR. For a single book without that scope, Signature is the right fit.
