Empowering Authors: A Guide to Seamless Book Design, Publishing, and Global Distribution

 In the dynamic world of literature, the journey from penning down thoughts to presenting a polished book for the world to read is an exhilarating adventure. One integral aspect of this journey is the design of the book cover and interiors, as well as the choice between publishing formats. With the advent of user-friendly design tools and comprehensive publishing platforms, authors now have the power to shape their literary creations effortlessly and make them accessible globally.

Design Your Book with Ease:

Gone are the days when designing a book cover and interiors required extensive knowledge of graphic design. Today, authors can embrace their creativity without the need for specialized skills, thanks to easy-to-use design tools and templates. These tools offer a plethora of customizable options, enabling authors to craft unique, eye-catching covers that reflect the essence of their work. The intuitive interfaces of these tools allow authors to experiment with various elements, ensuring that the final design resonates with their artistic vision.

Authors can personalize every aspect of their book’s interior, from font styles to page layouts, creating an immersive reading experience. The days of relying solely on professional designers are over – the power to design is now in the hands of the author.

Publishing as Paperback and eBook:

The decision to publish a book as a paperback or an eBook is no longer an either-or scenario. Authors can now cater to a diverse audience by opting for both formats. The paperback version provides the tactile pleasure of holding a physical book, while the eBook version offers the convenience of digital accessibility. By choosing both, authors can maximize their reach and cater to the preferences of various readers.

Publishing in multiple formats is not just about accommodating reader preferences; it’s also a strategic move to enhance visibility and market penetration. In a world where readers consume literature through different mediums, providing options ensures that authors can engage with a broader audience.

Distribute Your Book Worldwide:

Once a book is beautifully designed and published in multiple formats, the next crucial step is distribution. A global audience awaits, and authors can now effortlessly sell their creations in over 30,000 stores across 150+ countries. This expansive distribution network is made possible through the collaboration of publishing platforms with various retailers, both online and offline.

Authors no longer need to worry about the logistics of global distribution – it’s all taken care of seamlessly. From renowned bookstores to online marketplaces, the book becomes available to readers worldwide, transcending geographical boundaries. This extensive reach not only increases the potential for sales but also fosters a diverse readership.

The landscape of book design, publishing, and distribution has undergone a transformative shift, empowering authors to take charge of their literary destinies. With accessible design tools, the ability to publish in multiple formats, and global distribution networks, the journey from the inception of an idea to a widely read book has become more straightforward and rewarding.

Aspiring authors are no longer confined by the limitations of traditional publishing processes. The tools and platforms available today offer the means to unleash creativity, connect with readers on a global scale, and turn a literary vision into a tangible reality. It’s an exciting era for authors, where the power to design, publish, and distribute is firmly in their hands.

    You retain all the rights to your book! We exist to help you reach the market via our distribution partners and act as a publishing label. We work with a non-exclusive publishing agreement meaning, we don’t own any of your content and you can even publish it elsewhere if you wish.

  • What is an ISBN and will my book get an ISBN number?

    ISBN stands for ‘International Standard Book Number’. It’s basically a 13 digit identification number that booksellers and libraries use to identify books, magazines, newspapers or other publications. Separate ISBNs are assigned for the paperback, hardbound and eBook versions of your book.

  • How many copies of my book will you print?

  • The inventory is Printed-On-Demand (POD) based on sales velocity to ensure that the book does not go out of stock. EduPub works with its various print partners across the globe to make sure your book is printed and delivered to your buyer within the turn around time. This ensures that the latest version of your book is always available when readers order it from the EduPub Store or various eCommerce sites.

  • How are Author Earnings calculated for print books?

    Profit is calculated as the difference between the MRP and expenses incurred during the production and distribution of the book. Profit = MRP – Expenses (Distribution Cost + Production Cost).

    Writers who publish using the Outpublish Program get 100% of the net profits from the book.

    Writers who publish using the EduPub Platform get 60% or 80% of the net profits from the sale of each copy of the book, depending on the distribution plan selected

    Sample Calculation:

    Let us assume, the MRP of a book is $100, and the production cost of the book is $.30/-. Now, the profits would be calculated as

    Profits = MRP – (Distribution Cost + Production Cost)

    = $100 – (50 + 30) = $20

    $20/- would be your earnings per book when sold via Amazon.in, Flipkart and all other eCommerce sites and in retail stores.

    EduPub charges a 20% distribution fee on all online store orders to account for Payment Processing and Order Fulfilment Charges.

    Profits are calculated as $100 – (20 + 30) = $50

    Author Earnings if you have chosen the Outpublish Program (100% net profits):

    EduPub Online Store= $50

    Other Stores = $20

    Author Earnings if you have chosen the India/International Distribution (80% net profits):

    EduPub Online Store= $40

    Other Stores (Amazon, Flipkart)= $16

    Author Earnings if you have chosen the Basic Distribution (60% net profits):

    EduPub Online Store= $30

    Other Stores (Amazon, Flipkart)= Not Applicable

  • How often will I receive my Author Earnings?

  • Profits from print book sales in India: All print books sold via Indian eCommerce sites are reported on your Author Dashboard as soon as orders are confirmed and determined for each month. Your earnings are paid annually.
