49 Self Publishing Companies in India. And how to choose the right one.

Writing is hard. Getting published is harder.

Well, it was. Till we got self publishing companies in India. India has an enormous number of writers and only a handful of literary agents / traditional publishing houses in India. So the competition is ridiculously high. Starting with the slush piles on the editors’ desks till the final acceptance email, it is one long painful wait. Great work is often rejected.

Furthermore, if one is lucky enough to get a traditional book publishing deal, control is limited. Traditional publishers take their own sweet time to publish, and an author’s (lack of ) control over marketing a book can be frustrating. All these can add to the wait and worries of getting published.

But not anymore. In a world of instant food and instant fame – self publishing is like the instant publishing option for writers.

With the plethora of options available for a writer to get published at the click of a button, your book can be available globally now in a matter of a few hours. (With some basic preparations of course – which includes it is publishing-ready in terms of editing and a cover)

          If you are wondering how you can get published, here’s an article that can help you – Get published in India: This nine point checklist will help.

          The process of self publishing is very simple. It involves-

          Step: 1 – Editing

          Step: 2 – Typesetting / Formatting 

          Step : 3 – Blurb and Author Bio

          Step: 4 – Cover Designing

          That’s it. Your book is ready to be published. 

          Oops! I forgot to add here the most important thing needed in the process of self publishing.

          To start with the process of self publishing you will first need a good book. Yes! You heard me right. A poorly written book, which is badly edited will not become a best-seller despite being marketed extensively. So keeping aside what self publishing houses in India can offer to an author in terms of services, the first and foremost thing we will need is a strong book with a great story that is properly edited. 

          Now that we have ensured we have the book in place, let me take you through the process of self publishing.

          What do Self Publishing Companies in India do?

          Self publishing companies in India offer various options for publishing to an author which can be availed at a cost.

          To explain it in simpler terms, this way of publishing requires the author to make an investment towards the printing, marketing, and/or distribution of the book, either directly or indirectly.

          Self Publishing Companies take your manuscript and help you make it publishing-ready by following the usual process of editing, typesetting, cover designing, and printing. Largely this is what their job compromises of. But today, the self publishing companies in India are offering a lot more than these basic requirements of an author. 

          Many of these self  publishing companies in India also offer distribution and marketing services at an additional cost which includes things like digital marketing, the inclusion of the title in Amazon Prime, Email marketing, building an author website, book trailer, audiobook release, international distribution, book launch events, media coverage, etc.

          Taking author branding and recognition very seriously, some of them even have options for awards and nominations also added to their packages. 

          However, this is something that has been a topic of discussion quite a lot. As if choosing between Traditional Publishing and self-publishing wasn’t enough, now you have to make a choice between the many options provided by self-publishing companies in India.

          Irrespective of what anyone says, remember you are the best judge to decide which method of publishing is best for you.

          Weighing in all the pros and cons, you can choose what you think matches your exact requirements in terms of publishing, printing, distribution, and marketing.

          They are all equally important for a writer. 

          Simply put, it is like making your own cup of coffee. There is no right or wrong here. It is just what you want!

          Self Publishing Houses in India

          Writers, who are already calculating the monetary aspect of this exercise, there is some good news for you as well. 

          Some of these self publishing companies in India have gone a step further and also offered crowd-funding for your book. A very popular concept internationally, I was very excited on seeing this at least being talked about on these sites. Basically crowdfunding a book means you create a proposal for a book you have already written, get an estimate of the cost involved to publish it, and then create a campaign for it on Crowdfunding platforms like Ketto, Go Fund me, etc. where you seek funding for these expenses. But in India, it works slightly differently.

          When you opt for crowd-funding through these self publishing companies in India, some of them insist on a certain number of pre-orders for the book to be released. So basically, till you gather the required number of pre-orders, your book is on their website but in the Pre-orders section.

          You can read more about crowd-funding your books through self publishing companies in India through these links.

          Types of Self Publishing in India

          There are various ways to opt for self publishing in India.

          • DIY publishing – As the name suggests it is a Do-it-Yourself style of self-publishing where their team is not available to help you on any front. You can custom create from the choices available on their website and publish your book.
          • Print-Publishing – The book will be available in print format.
          • Digital publishing – In this, they publish only an E-book and release it in PDF, .mobi or e-pub format on various digital platforms (including their own)
          • Self- Publishing – In this option, an author literally does everything on their own which includes hiring an editor, a cover designer, a printer, stocking the books, listing them up on online portals like Amazon, dispatching when they receive an order, marketing, promoting, etc. A completely hands-on experience for an author which has utmost transparency but also is extremely time-taking. 
          • Print-on-Demand Publishing – There are no ready stocks of your book made available anywhere including with the publisher. Every time someone places an order a copy will be printed and then dispatched to the buyer. This makes this option slightly costlier than the rest. 

          There are multiple reasons why these days an author opts for self publishing a book in India. We have explored this at length in our blogpost A Beginner’s Guide to Self Publishing in India.

          While there are many hybrid publishing houses also in India, who offer both traditional and self publishing options to authors, we will not be talking about them in this list. You can check our list of traditional publishing houses in India to know more about them. This list is only of self publishing companies in India. 

          If you want to go the traditional way, here’s a list of 50 Traditional Book Publishing Houses in India.

          For ease of understanding, we have segregated this list into 4 categories based on the different types of publishing options offered by each of these self publishing houses in India.

          1. Print-Publishing – This means your book will only be available in print format (paperback and/or hardcover).
          2. Print + E-book Publishing – This means your book will be available in both print (paperback and/or hardcover) and electronic formats.
          3. Print + E-book and Print-on-Demand publishing– This means your book will be available in print(paperback and/or hardcover), electronic and you can also opt for print-on-demand.
          4. Only Digital Publishing – This means your book will be available only in electronic format.

          If you are a Hindi Writer, here’s a list of 14 Hindi Book Publishers in India.

          How to submit your manuscript to Self Publishing companies in India?

          Self publishing houses in India have no specific submission guidelines or procedures. Most of them encourage direct talks and hence actively share email addresses and telephone numbers on their sites encouraging authors to contact them directly. Some even have Contact Us forms where you can fill in your details and request them to get in touch with you.

          What are the requirements of Self Publishing companies in India?

          Most of these self publishing houses have no specific requirements when it comes to genres and categories. They accept all types of fiction, non-fiction, poetry, children’s writing, technical and academic writing. Further, some of them have even expanded into offering publishing services in Indian languages like Hindi, Marathi, Tamil, Bengali, etc.

          What are the services offered by Self Publishing companies in India?

          Most of the sites of the self publishing houses are user-friendly and have a lot of FAQs to help an author understand what they are offering and at what cost. Apart from their packages they also have different types of calculators for royalty and author earnings to help you get an idea about the cost involved in getting published. We recommend reading all the information provided and using all the available tools to make a well-analyzed and calculated decision.

          According to industry experts, the major drawback self-publishing houses in India have is sales and distribution. Poor editing quality comes a close second. There have been many authors who have highlighted the non-deliverance of the marketing support they were not only assured but adequately charged for while opting for their publishing package. However, the number of happy and satisfied authors is equally high.

          This clearly implies that one needs to have a clear understanding of not only what they want for their book but also how much is enough in terms of spending for your book. The self publishing houses in India can provide great support but the results are not something anyone can guarantee. Not even you!

          How to choose from various Self Publishing companies in India?

          While it is important to know what self publishing houses in India are offering in terms of services and support but at the same time, it is equally important to know what YOU can do for promoting the book.

          For any publishing house, your book will be one of the many books they will be publishing that month/year. But for you, this is THE book you always dreamed of. The one you wanted to write about all your life. One that you believe can not only change your life but also of the readers. So, the amount of effort you will do to promote this book will always be unmatched.

          Start with making a list of things you can do at your end to promote the book, design a marketing plan and see which areas you need external support. By areas, we do not mean basic publishing activities like editing, typesetting, cover designing, and printing the book. We are referring to various promotional activities like Social Media Marketing, Amazon promotions, Book Trailers, etc. Based on these areas analyze the services offered by the self publishing houses in India and voila! you have your winner.

          Conclusion

          Strangely enough, there is a lot of taboo associated with being a self-published author. Not to forget the many literary fests, magazines, and even awards that do not encourage participation from self-published authors. The media is also not too friendly towards reviewing books that have been self-published.

          But I am glad to say, things definitely seem to be changing for the better. It might actually sound surprising, but a lot of traditionally published authors have also been exploring self-publishing through Amazon KDP because of the freedom it brings along. This includes some of the best-selling authors of India like Preeti Shenoy, Neil D’silva, Arjun Raj Gaind, Debeshi Gooptu, etc.

          While that remains a debate for another day, as an author who tried self-publishing her debut book all I can say is that there is no shame in being a self-published author. Believing in your own work is a great deal for any artist and so is wanting to see your name in print. Self-publishing makes it both possible and hence, is a highly lucrative option for any author who can afford these services and are able to make the most of it.

              It depends on what criteria they are being compared upon.

              That is the reason, even in this post – we emphasize how an author should know what is that they want from this publishing exercise and see if a particular publisher (Self / traditional) is able to support you enough to get that desired result.

            4. Hybrid publishing seems to be gaining a lot of traction these days, and I’ve been particularly impressed by how some publishers, like Clever Fox Publishing, are making the most of this model. Hybrid publishing offers authors the best of both worlds—more control over their creative work while still benefiting from professional editorial, design, and marketing services.
              Clever Fox Publishing seems to do a great job of helping authors with personalized marketing strategies, including Amazon ads and social media campaigns, which is crucial for authors who want their books to really stand out. It’s definitely a great option for authors who are looking for a supportive and flexible approach to publishing.

They offer all types of self-publishing options which include DIY which means without any assistance from their team and partnered publishing (which involves assistance from their team) apart from Traditional Publishing.

              1. Publishing with Blue Hill Publication at first was as they mentioned it was best but as days passed by after publishing my second book it was all in the dumps. Thier customer service was the worst. Me and my mom kept on calling to ask for a refund for the website but they gave only excuses and later stopped picking the calls and stopped replying to emails. I had paid 10k for the website on 9th August 2023 and it’s been one and a half year and didn’t get any refund. My second book is also not uploaded on the dashboard. No royalties and no refund. What’s worst is because of them my both the book listings is not in Amazon listings. They give only excuses. I have paid for my printed copies too it’s been a week still i didn’t receive my copies. I had paid Rs 2297 for 10 copies.I had paid for the copyright of my book also but I didn’t get any service of it. Most of the things in the package which they have mentioned are not given also such as author visiting cards and certificate etc.
                I am very frustrated. I have waited long enough and will not wait anymore. I want my money back within 24 hours. I don’t want any more timelines now.
                If you want not to be cheated please i request authors please don’t go with Blue Hill Publication. They are hungry for your money.
                PREVIOUSLY ON NOVEMBER 19TH 2022 I HAD POSTED A POSITIVE REVIEW HERE WHICH IS FAKE NOT TRUE.
                BLUE HILL PUBLICATIONS ARE FRAUD. THEY DO ALL FAKE PROMISES. NEITHER THEY REFUND OR KEEP PROMISES. TELLING YOU BECAUSE I DON’T WANT ANY ONE TO BE CHEATED LIKE ME. THEY DIDN’T GIVE MY WEBSITE REFUND OR MONEY TAKEN FOR PRINTED AND THEY DON PROVIDE SERVICE THEY TOOK MONEY.

          3. Hello Aditya,

            I understand that finding the best and reliable publisher might be tricky. I am a writing enthusiast myself and have invested a great deal of time and effort in the literature industry.

            The much I have figured out so far, the three most reliable publishing houses from this list are as follows:

            1. Blue Hill Publications
            2. Notion Press and
            3. Blue Rose Publishing

            These three publishing houses are by far the most reliable. While Notion Press and Blue Rose, deals with a huge number of books, their quality sometimes gets compromised for understandable reasons but Blue Hill Publications https://bluehillpublications.in/ only accepts the books they find worth publishing. So, in my opinion, if you want your book to be published without quality getting compromised at any point in time, Blue Hill is the way to go.

            I hope this helps.

            1. I had to withdraw my book from Blue Hills after “Print-on-demand” was published. I had to struggle for months for publication. I had to chase at every stage. When the book was published, I was not satisfied with the quality. There was a blunder in the list of contents. I did not get the marketing support promised in the “Silver Package” for which I had paid more than Rs. 15,000/-. It was difficult to search paperback on Amazon.in. Ultimately, in Feb 2022 I purchased all paperbacks from Amazon and asked Blue Hills not to anything. I lost More than Rs. 16000/-. The next experience with another “publisher” was worse.

              1. Hello Devendra,

                I am not sure what went wrong with your project at Blue Hill Publications as I have been publishing my books with them for over two years now and till date, I have no complaints whatsoever. They are prompt, devoted and their quality standards are high. What I find surprising after reading your comment here is your claim to have published your book under “Print-on-demand” with Blue Hill, but as much as I know about them, they don’t even have the option for “Print-on-demand” publishing. In the other hand, you wrote that you paid Rs. 15,000/- and then you wrote that you lost more than Rs. 16,000/-, I find it kind-of fishy, please don’t mind.

                I hope it is not an act to defame Blue Hill because I trust Blue Hill completely.

              2. Blue hill publications is one of the best publication I have worked with. Their entire team is very professional and best in the industry. Thier printing quality is best just as a traditional publishing. I have published my first book SHE IS MY MOM authored by me (Jyothsna) from them. They update you in timely manner and respond to your queries professionally. My second book HOW I SAVED THE ANTS ! is getting published by them again and I will choose them for my future projects too. I just love thier service. I recommend thier service for aspiring authors.

          5. BLUE ROSE Publishers are robbing authors with high prices and extremely poor service. they collect money and stop answering calls. Many authors had to struggle to get their book publishers.

            1. Congratulations on your book!

              We have no feedback to share on Asian Press. And also, we have not worked with any of these self-publishing companies to recommend one strongly. Though we do hear good things about Happy Self Publishing.

              We would encourage you to choose a publishing house only after analyzing their services vis-a-vis your needs for the book. We have discussed this at length here: https://himalayanwritingretreat.com/self-publishing-companies-in-india/#How_to_choose_from_various_Self_Publishing_companies_in_India

          8. Hi!

            I have just recently put up my book on Bollywood Caricatures (Volume I) for self-publication on Amazon’s eBook and paperback versions. As with other first time authors, I too did not do a complete research, but only partially, since there’s a lot of data to be read and it creates unnecessary confusion at the start (when I had the idea in my mind and had the content work in progress). I came to know later that there’s no paperback printing in India through Amazon! Even the author copies are available to them on order based on the printing cost, but what hurts more is the shipping costs, for a $15 List Price of the book, the shipping cost is about $16-$17, so total cost of the book for one copy of the paperback version to be received in India goes to about INR 2300!!! Moreover, the book is thin, and I am afraid the idea about paperback through Amazon publishing may fail for those ordering from India. As somebody in the audience said, it’s almost impossible for audience to purchase paperback version from India through Amazon, forget about the Indian author himself/herself, it is highly difficult to order author copies because of the price!!!

            1. Thanks for sharing your experience. We understand that Amazon will be launching it’s Print-on-demand service in India also in the next few months. Hopefully, once that happens, things will change. For now, we understand that Pothi, Notion press and other self-publishing companies offer Print on demand services as well. You can evaluate those as a substitute. All the best!

            There’s a term you get to hear a lot these days — Partner Publishing/ Hybrid Publishing. A lot of agents I have contacted use them. Also, there are publishing houses using these terms. I personally find them similar to self-publishing.

            I’d love to know your thoughts about them. Or maybe a compilation partner publishers in India.

          23. As an entrepreneur, however, the positive effects on brand awareness, customer acquisition and loyalty will be much more important to you. Analyzes, for example, through customer surveys, provide information about what part your book has in the marketing strategy’s success. And one last aspect: Competence in the industry pays off. This is important if you agree on fixed fees or hourly rates.

            I am a second-time author of children’s books. The new book has 6 short stories with a few illustrations.

            I am looking for a publishing house where I can self-publish my book for a decent price. The last time I worked with Notion Press, though the process went smoothly, the book printing price turned out too high.

            I would appreciate any suggestions specifically for children’s book publishing.

          35. I’m writing this for any fantasy romance writers out there who might need guidance with this. Hello, Thank you for reading my comment. I’m a fiction novelist. I stumbled onto this page at chance, and it is extremely useful. Ok ok Let’s go back to why I am writing this, when I first crafted my fantasy romance, it was exceedingly challenging for me to determine the most suitable publication for me. This is due to the fact that publishing a fantasy romance involves more than merely composing words; it involves the development of a complete world that readers can immerse themselves in, including intricate characters and an enchanting love story. It is imperative to identify the appropriate publisher for this endeavour. After much consideration, I came across Aseem Prakashan. At first, I was somewhat hesitant; however, they were cost-effective. I made the decision to follow my instincts, and I am now immensely pleased with my decision. They collaborated closely with me to make sure the cover art accurately reflected my characters and that the whole thing was according to my concept. I wholeheartedly recommend Aseem Prakashan to any author, particularly those who specialise in fantasy. They acknowledge the artistry inherent in each narrative and possess the expertise, commitment, and affection for the craft necessary to bring it to life. I can’t imagine a greater companion for this adventure. You can check their website: https://www.aseemprakashan.com

            My book, “I see you,” will be released on Oct 17th’ 2024 (or maybe it has already been published by the time you read this), so please, don’t be a slacker and go check it out on Amazon; all it takes is typing the three words “I SEE YOU” It will only take a few seconds, so go ahead and do it!

            A related query I have is, I work for a big printing press in India, and I’m looking to expand our services for new writers and authors, as we can offer end-to-end services, including and not limited to cover/copy edits, printing and distribution. Would you be able to provide any recommendations/groups/channels from where we can approach such writers to offer our services?

            Thanks a bunch!

          38. I’m writing this in public interest, for all the fellow authors of Blue Hill Publications. If you have been a part of Blue Hill Publications (like me) and have made any payment to them, after the date 12.08.2024, please check whether the company has charged GST (sent a GST invoice) on that payment. Their GST Number has been, and is currently (as on 20.2.25) suspended, with effect from 12.08.24. As a result, they are legally unauthorized to send GST invoices and collect GST for their services. Despite such suspension, they are sending GST invoices to their customers and are collecting GST.

            I had made a payment to them for my package in the month of October, with GST. They have also charged GST from me on 25.1.25 for the printing costs-with the same suspended GST Number. They are sending GST Invoices and are charging GST with a suspended GST Number, which is illegal.

            Since they have done that to me, I can reasonably presume that they must have done the same with their other customers too. Hence, I`m writing this to make people aware of their unlawful acts, especially to those authors who had made payments to them after 12.08.24. Please check your invoice, and verify the status of the GST Number to be certain of it.

            You can also contact me on Instagram (IG Handle: @viv3k99) if you want to discuss about this, or my experience with them, in detail. I will, anyway, write a detailed review on Google later.

          41. My name is Amitabh Shekhar and I recently got my third book published by Blue Hill Publications. When I was searching for a reliable self-publishing house, I stumbled upon a lot of self-publishers. Many of them sounded cheesy but when I came to know about Blue Hill Publications, I read a few negative reviews about them and that made me doubt if I wanted to go with them but I decided to talk to them before judging them on the basis of reviews on the internet.

            When I talked to them, I instantly realised that they are not what a few of the people wrote about them. Book publishing is a creative process and delay happens at times and this is totally understandable. I believe people who are writing the negative reviews about Blue Hill might be having unrealistic expectations. When I talked to them, I found them honest, transparent and very professional. They not only guided me throughout the procedure but gave me a really good deal that no other publisher was willing to give me. Now, I am happy that I finally got my book published with Blue Hill.

            So, if you are looking for a good and reliable book publisher for your book, I would advise you to go with Blue Hill Publications. Talk to them instead of believing in the reviews you find on the internet because, internet reviews may also be misleading and posted in corporate sabotage. All the best!

          43. Many of the so-called appreciation responses about Bluehill are, in fact, written by their own team members using multiple IDs. If you notice carefully, none of them mention the name of their book why? Because most of them are not genuine authors. The reality is very different. My own experience with Bluehill, and that of many other authors, has been disappointing. You can easily verify this by checking their Google reviews.
            Blogs that put Bluehill’s name on top without proper research are the reason so many new authors still get trapped in their false promises. I myself published two books with them How I Saved the Ants and She Is My Mom and was even planning a third one. But thank God I realized the truth in time. I managed to break free from this fraud company, and now my books are in safe hands with Aseem Prakashan.
            With Aseem Prakashan, I finally receive timely responses and 100% transparency. Their honesty is such that even the sales from book fairs are reported to me with complete records something unheard of with most publishers. This level of trust is why my next two books are also being published with them.
            What every author dreams of in a publisher honesty, support, and accountability Aseem Prakashan truly delivers. In today’s publishing world, where scams are far too common, they are nothing less than a saviour for authors.
            If you are planning to publish your book, I must say contact Aseem Prakashan. With them, your book won’t just be published, it will be protected, valued, and nurtured.

          44. Hi I am Shivani Pde, the author of Broken Heart Verses, originally published by Blue Hill Publication. I was appalled when someone told me Blue Hill was featured on 8th number on a reputed website & company of Himalayan Writing Retreat??? WOW ! they better do their due diligence because this listing is going to lead many potential authors astray. We all know how reputed is Himalayan writing, I sincerely request the owners to take not. This isn’t my single experience, its of many authors who were cheated by Blue Hill Publications.

            First of all, I truly fail to understand how a fraudulent company like BlueHill Publications, which has deceived countless authors, can be featured positively on a Himalyan Writing Blog. And yet, a genuine and trustworthy publishing house like Aseem Prakashan which has emerged as a true savior for authors in the publishing world remains unmentioned. Because of such misleading blogs, many innocent authors continue to fall into the trap of fraudulent companies.
            Allow me to introduce myself properly this time, I am Shivani Pde, author of Broken Heart Verses. Unfortunately, my first publishing experience was with BlueHill Publications, and to describe it in one word it was horrible. I trusted them so much that I even broke my fixed deposit savings, believing they would deliver on their promises. I paid them for marketing and press release services, but nothing was ever delivered. They stopped answering my calls, ignored my messages, and left me waiting helplessly for more than 10 months.
            Finally, I decided to switch to Aseem Prakashan, a publishing house founded by the husband-wife duo Prashant and Nidhi. And that decision gave my book a new life. Their team is highly professional, dedicated, and genuinely committed to authors’ growth. If you visit their Instagram handle, you will see the effort they put into building visibility for their authors. They recently created a high-production promotional video for my book, and I was beyond impressed.
            Their marketing division is led by Naman, an incredible professional who not only understands book promotion but also personally guides authors on how to reach wider audiences effectively.
            I would wholeheartedly recommend Aseem Prakashan to every author. Trust me once you speak with them, you will not want to go anywhere else.
