INKDEWPublish your book. Pay nothing to publish.
Your book. Your name. Your copyright. INKDEW covers the ISBN, barcode, interior design, cover design, and your listing on Amazon and the INKDEW website.
Refundable ₹3,000 security fee. Refunded in full if your book doesn't publish. Clicking opens WhatsApp with a pre-written message.

18 more pre-orders to go.
At 30, your book is published at no cost. Pre-orders stay open 90 days.
You wrote the book. Why should publishing cost you thousands?
Then comes the next step, and the invoices begin: one for the ISBN, one for the cover, one for the layout, one for distribution. Many good books never reach readers at this point. INKDEW does it differently: we don't charge you to publish. We ask you to show that readers want your book, and we make that easy.
What you get, free
- ISBN. Your book gets its own identity number, so it can be listed and sold properly.
- Barcode. Printed and ready for sale.
- Interior design. Your pages laid out cleanly, so the book reads the way a published book should.
- Cover design. A cover made for your book, not a template with your name dropped in.
- Inkdew website listing. Your own book page in our store.
- Amazon listing. Your book available where readers already shop.
- 100% copyright with you. Inkdew never takes the rights to your work.
What you earn
Two ways to earn: royalty on store sales, and margin on your own copies. Buy at ₹170, sell at the ₹299 MRP, keep ₹129 a copy.
Estimate your earnings
₹49 royalty each
Bought at ₹170, sold at ₹299
- Store royalty
- ₹4,900
- Margin on your copies
- ₹6,450
These are examples to show the arithmetic, not promises of sales. The margin is before any costs you have in selling your copies, such as travel or stall fees. Earnings begin after publication.

The rules, before you pay
- Eligibility
- English-language books up to 120 pages.
- What you pay
- Only the ₹3,000 security fee, which is refunded. Nothing else is charged to publish.
- If the target isn't reached
- Pre-orders stay open for 90 days. If you don't reach 30, your ₹3,000 and every reader's payment are refunded in full. If you're close, you may choose a 30-day extension instead.
- If you reach the target
- Your ₹3,000 is returned within 7 days of publication.
- Earnings
- Royalty and author-price copies become available once the book is published, not during pre-order.
Who this is for
You have a finished English manuscript of up to 120 pages, and people who would buy it: patients, clients, students, followers, colleagues or an event audience.
- Doctors
- Coaches
- Teachers
- Speakers
- Consultants
- Founders

May not be the right fit: manuscripts longer than 120 pages or not in English, or if you can't yet reach 30 people who would order. We'd rather say so now than disappoint you later.
