How do we work?
Our process is simple: authors pitch, readers pre-order and we publish. Any author can pitch and submit their proposal. Once the project goes live, readers support the book by pre-ordering it. Once the pre-order target of 300 is reached, the book-publishing process starts. In addition, authors are assigned an editor, a designer and all aspects of publishing right from printing, distributing and marketing are dealt with by our team.
What happens next after completion of pre-order campaign?
Once you have successfully completed the pre-order campaign, Pblishing.com will send you an email on the next steps and processes. The mail will basically guide you on how to send manuscripts to us, connect with our editorial and design team and act as a guiding tool on the distribution and marketing processes of Pblishing.com.
Why not self-publish?
Self-publishing takes time and lots of effort. Self-publishing places the entire burden of editorial, design, production, distribution and marketing on the author. At Pblishing.com, the entire process of publishing be it related to editing, designing, marketing or distributing will be done by us.
How do we make money?
We only make money when your book sells in the market. We give authors 30% of net sales (net of allowances and discounts) on physical books and 50% on ebooks. Net sales will be calculated on the basis of the amount we get from our retailers and distributors.

How is this different than Kickstarter or Wishberry?
Sites like Kickstarter or Wishberry provide stand-alone crowd-funding platforms without publishing support. Once an author raises funds on these sites they have to figure out production, distribution, and marketing on their own. With Pblishing.com, authors can focus on their writing while we handle the logistics of producing, distributing, and marketing your work.
