Pinaki Ghosh, founder of Power Publishers, a Kolkata-based self-publishing firm, says “We have packages of different services that an author pays for. This is a one-time cost. Even if the first edition is sold out, we reprint at our own cost to keep it available. The author receives 15 per cent royalty on sales. All authors receive royalty once every three months”.
… Power Publishers distributes through Crossword, Oxford Bookstores, Flipkart, Infibeam, Indieplaza, Amazon and uread. “Most of our books are available through these outlets because of our distribution contract with them,” says Ghosh.
… Of quality control, Ghosh says, “We have a system of working that eliminates or minimises this possibility. We read all manuscripts that we agree to publish. If there are quality issues, we write to the author to try our optional editing or rewriting package. Most authors go by our advice and our professional editors edit, rewrite and refine the work.”
