Bonus:
​
We believe that books are meant to be shared, and for sometime we chose to do it in our funky style.
We will drop a copy of your book in India's largest metro network - Delhi Metro, for a stranger to pick up, read, and return, so that another stranger picks it up, and so on... Not only will this increase your readers, but it will also make a complete stranger from a different corner of the country connect with your words and realise that there is someone who feels exactly like they do. Isn't it amazing? Someone living hundreds of miles away will find comfort and warmth because of you and your words.

​
Q 13. I understood what I'd be getting from this challenge, but what will YOU get from publishing at such a low cost that feels too good to be true? Why are you doing it?
We would want to say that we are doing it only for art, but nah... let's be honest - there are two benefits for us in this: First, we have our in-house printing press where we'll print your copies, which means, the more copies you sell, the more revenue our printing press will make from the book sales - you keep your 100% royalty, we keep our printing cost. Secondly, we know that when we publish your book in a way you want, you won't keep it to yourself, you'll share it with your friends, family, social media and other networks - and that means free promotion of our company through word-of-mouth! Who wouldn't want that?
Q 14. How can I be sure that I can trust you with my work and money? And how do I know what your previous authors have to say about you?
In today's work of information, knowing about a company's credibility is the easiest since everything is just a Google search away, and so are we. Being a Govt. of India recognised publishing company, registered under The Companies Act, 2013 (18 of 2013), we flaunt our collection of 800+ (and counting) published books and satisfied authors.
