The Cost Of Self-Publishing Book In India
Hey, Bookworms!
You are probably trying to figure out how much self publishing your literary masterpiece is going to cost you. Lucky for you, we’ve done the research needed to answer this question. So, let’s dive in without delay and find out how much does it cost to self publish a book in India?
Surprise! Self-publishing in India Is Not That Expensive
Yup, you read that right. Publishing a book can be managed at reasonable prices, provided you and your publisher know what needs to be done. See, publishing is as straightforward as a B2B transaction, simply because both you and your publisher are looking to book a profit. You, the author of the book, are in this for the long haul and therefore are putting in the work needed to dole out a quality literary product that has the potential to snowball into a revenue-generating avenue in the form of royalties or even movie deals.
Your publisher, on the other hand, is being paid for putting your book out there, that too as a quality, competent piece of literature. The trick here is to look for a self-publisher who is not trying to rush you into opting for a one-size-fits-all plan and instead is offering quality services at reasonable prices.

The format of the book, paperback or eBook; the number of pages in it; and the number of revisits and revisions the publishing team needs to put in, are some factors that can pull down or even nudge the publishing price.
