If You Are Sick And Tired of ‘Publishers’ Hounding You With ‘Publishing Packages’, Then You Will Appreciate The Offer.

Most aspiring authors are made to feel that you WILL HAVE TO Spend Tons of Money To get Published-- but those who succeed know something different obviously…

Dear Author,

This is Harshit Bhardwaj and I have some very important stuff to discuss.

If you’re like most aspiring unpublished authors with little experience of how publishing works then you’re probably stuck in a dirty maze of internet options on publishing.

There seems to be no fair option of publishing without going bankrupt.

But there’s one huge, looming problem as well…

Even after shelling out all that money, you don’t know if the book will be published decently or a shabbily printed manual.

You know what I’m talking about, right?

You have done your research. Made a list of all paid publishing options. They all seem to say the same things with same packages. People tell you if you have to pay to publish then you are not good enough as a writer.

It’s enough to make you want to give up. Some authors just quit. Manuscripts gather dust, metaphorically speaking.

But hold on – it doesn’t have to be that way…

Paying for publishing is certainly not the ideal way, but its one of the FASTEST ways to test your book in the market. Globally, Print On Demand is a very popular option. Amazon built their entire KDP business vertical worth billions, around this idea.

What Are Best Case Scenarios As An Author For You To Pay To Publish With POD model?

You are a first time author. You have tried approaching established publishers and
have been rejected. You believe in your book. It must come out soon as possible.
You write less favored genres- poetry, essays, biography, political writing, historical
research, short-fiction, short-stories etc. Finding a traditional publisher is very
difficult.

budget. You write in your part-time and just want to get it out fast on a minimal cost.
You simply want this to come out in the quickest possible time.

ISBN

Indian Govt assigns ISBN to published books. It has publihser’s code and a unique book embedded. We will assign a proper ISBN not a self-published author ISBN.

Edit + Proofreading

All books require editorial help. None of our books leave without two rounds of proofreading.

Typesetting + Layout

The difference between a great book designed by top publishers and a self-published book is often the typesetting and layout.

Sales channels on Amazon + Flipkart

Our primary channels are online. Once the book proves it popularity, we can flip to offline store distribution very quickly.

Global availability

With Amazon’s global POD, the book will be available globally wherever Amazon’s services are available.

All this and everything involved in creating a beautiful book will be handled by us as part of our publishing process. POD books go through exact publishing process as our other traditionally published books.

You must be thinking--- How Much Will It Cost?

Depends upon the length of your book. We have a very simple pricing slab based on the
number of pages and complexity in producing the book. Please reach out to us with your
book’s word-limit and other details for a quick pricing.

What About Royalties?

Traditionally, 8-10% of MRP is offered in a traditional publishing offer. With upfront cost and POD model, we offer a major share of the profits from the book to the author.

For example,

Book’s mrp = 300
Costs= ( 120 + 50)
Profits= 300-170 = 130

We deduct a minor X% from the profit, rest goes to the author. Our deduction is to cover the cost of stocking, handling, account managing with Amazon/Flipkart etc. Everything is transparent.

With Me as My Gift to You!

This is Harshit Bhardwaj. I lead the publishing team here at SIM. I have a long experience in the publishing industry in various roles- international rights, national marketing head, literary agent, and now as a publisher.

After doing my masters in literature I went on to do my masters level education in literature criticism and films from University of Liverpool. All I wanted to was to stay closer to books. But a man’s gotta earn his living. So I did a chartered course in marketing in England and got my first job as a digital marketer back in 2006.

Back to India in 2008, I continued working for British companies in digital marketing until I was offered a role by a major self-publishing US company. I managed 5000 client authors and got to understand their pains and vulnerabilities.
In 2019, my book with Harpercollins India was published. Four top publishers pitched to publish it.

I aim to offer authors a fair platform, at fair terms so you continue to write and not be dismayed by the confusion and prevalent bad-practices.

We don’t believe in sending author queries to a canned customer services funnel. I will personally talk to you and clear any/every doubt. In order to keep the call short and precise, please feel free to send all your apprehensions to my team, so I know what to discuss exactly when we speak.
