Questions

Five answers before you pick Get Published.

Other questions? WhatsApp us.

What's the actual difference between Kindle Starter and Get Published?
Three concrete differences. (1) Get Published includes paperback printing — your physical book exists, ships to your address, and sells on Amazon/Flipkart. Kindle Starter is eBook only. (2) Get Published gets you 2 ISBNs (paperback + eBook); Kindle Starter gets 1. (3) Get Published includes 5 free author copies (paperback). The ₹1,500 difference covers print setup, paperback distribution, and the copies.
Is ₹3,999 worth it vs free DIY publishing through Amazon KDP?
Depends on what you want. DIY pros: No upfront cost. DIY cons: You design the cover yourself (or pay a freelancer ₹3,000+), format the interior (or pay), apply for ISBN separately, fill paperwork. Get Published covers all of that plus quality control. Most authors who try DIY first end up paying ₹6,000–10,000 across freelancers — Get Published is one fee for one team. Plus we test on real devices before going live.
Should I just pay ₹2,000 more for Publish & Promote?
Three reasons to upgrade. (1) Custom typography vs. standard template — your book looks more literary. (2) 3 Facebook/Instagram ad creatives — you can launch with real marketing assets. (3) Press release template + Amazon Author Central setup. If any of these matter for your launch, Publish & Promote is the right pick. If you're a designer yourself or have an agency handling marketing, Get Published is fine.
Why no ad creatives in Get Published?
Pricing trade-off. Ad creatives are designer-time-intensive (each design takes ~2 hours). Including them in Get Published would push it to ₹4,500+. By keeping them in Publish & Promote, we give Get Published buyers the option to stay lean OR add them later as an upgrade (₹1,500 add-on). About 30% of Get Published authors add the ad pack later when they're ready to run ads.
Who is the typical Get Published author?
Indian first-time or second-time author. Manuscript ready or near-ready. 30,000–60,000 words. Genre: memoir, fiction, business, self-help, poetry. Wants paperback + eBook visible on Amazon and Flipkart (where 70%+ of Indian book sales happen). Comfortable with ₹4K + 18% GST as one-time investment. Treats the book as a real project but not a literary career campaign.
