ISBN, or 'International Standard Book Number,' is a 13-digit identification number crucial for book sellers and libraries to recognize books, magazines, newspapers, or other publications. Separate ISBNs are assigned for the Paperback, Hardcover, and eBook versions of your book.

You retain complete ownership of your book! We serve as a conduit to bring your work to the market through our distribution partners and operate as a publishing label. Our non-exclusive publishing agreement ensures that we do not claim ownership of your content, allowing you the freedom to publish it elsewhere if you so choose.

Together, you and we decide on the book's price. The selling price is determined by the production cost, which we assist you in calculating based on page extent, size, and format. This information enables you to set the retail price of your book and determine your earnings.

For the Silver and Gold plans, we employ the Print-on-Demand (POD) method with an initial print run of 50 copies, contingent upon sales on Amazon and Flipkart in the Indian market. Reprinting occurs once 90% of the stock is sold.

Authors' sales vary—from a few copies to thousands. While your book is available through our distribution partners, effective promotion and marketing efforts are essential for sales. This could involve the various marketing services that we provide like creating a website, reaching out for reviews, and actively engaging potential readers. With focused efforts, a good book has the potential to become a great seller!

Certainly! You can monitor your book sales, earnings, track payouts, and order copies at a subsidized price—all conveniently accessible on your author dashboard.

What does it mean when we say that Bigfoot Publications is a self-publishing company?

It's straightforward! Once you sign the agreement, we initiate the process by applying for an ISBN, followed by the work on cover design.

The entire process typically spans around 21 working days. (Please note that this timeline may vary based on author approval or requested changes.)

A Project Manager is your dedicated guide throughout your publishing journey. They will regularly update you on the project, coordinate with the cover designer, editor, formatter, social media handler, printer, and others. Serving as the primary point of contact for authors, the Project Manager addresses queries related to publishing, distribution, listing, and marketing. They provide guidance throughout both the pre and post-publishing phases of your journey.

Absolutely! If you decide to discontinue our services, simply send us an email or make a phone call, and we'll gladly provide you with a No Objection Certificate (NOC). Until you officially discontinue our services, it would be both illegal and unethical to have your book printed and sold by any other source.
