Once your book is published, Astitva Prakashan distributes it through our
network of 150+ countries. Your book becomes
available for purchase on Amazon India, Flipkart, Google Play Books,
Apple Books, Notion Press store, and major international retailers.

For physical distribution, your paperback and hardcover editions are made
available to bookstores and libraries across India through our distribution
partnerships. You do not need to manage any of this — our distribution
team handles everything automatically once your book goes live.

Royalty earnings depend on your chosen publishing package, book pricing,

significantly higher royalties on every sale.

You can calculate your exact expected royalty earnings before publishing
using our free Royalty Calculator on our website. All earnings are tracked
in real time through your personal Author Dashboard, and payouts are
processed monthly with full transparency — no hidden deductions,
no surprises.

Self publishing in India has become a serious and respected career path
for authors. With the rise of digital reading, Amazon Kindle publishing,
and India’s growing literary culture, self published authors today reach
millions of readers without needing a traditional publisher’s approval.

Several Astitva Prakashan authors have gone on to become recognised names
in Indian literature, with their books adapted into films, covered by
national media, and sold across international markets. Self publishing
gives you speed, control, higher royalties, and the freedom to build
your author brand on your own terms — making it an excellent choice for
new and experienced writers in India alike.

The cost to publish a book in India varies depending on the services you
choose, the length of your manuscript, and the type of publishing —
traditional or self publishing. Traditional publishing in India has no
upfront cost but comes with loss of copyright, low royalties of 8–15%,
and no guarantee of acceptance. Self publishing in India gives you full
control at a transparent, one-time cost.

At Astitva Prakashan, the cost to publish a book in India starts at just
₹9,999. This is one of the most affordable book publishing rates in India
without compromising on quality. Here is what affects the final cost:

— Manuscript length: Longer books require more editing and formatting
— Cover design complexity: Custom illustrated covers vs standard design
— Printing type: Paperback, hardcover, or both
— Number of author copies required
— Additional services: eBook conversion, audiobook, marketing packages

Unlike many book publishers in India who charge hidden fees at every stage,
Astitva Prakashan offers complete transparency. You know the full cost of
publishing your book before you sign anything — no surprises, no hidden
charges.
