No, our package prices are all-inclusive with no hidden fees. The only additional costs you might encounter would be for optional services beyond the scope of your selected package, such as additional author copies, enhanced marketing campaigns, or specialized services like audiobook production. Any such services would be clearly priced and presented as optional additions.

You retain 100% of the rights to your work with all of our publishing packages. Xilvora Ink operates on a non-exclusive publishing model, meaning you maintain complete ownership of your intellectual property and have the freedom to pursue other publishing opportunities if you wish. We simply obtain a license to publish and distribute your work according to our agreement.

Yes, you can upgrade your package at any time during the publishing process by paying the difference between your current package and the desired package. Additionally, we offer à la carte services that can be added to any package if you need specific services without a full upgrade.

Royalties are calculated based on the net revenue received from your book sales (the retail price minus retailer discounts and distribution fees). Your royalty rate depends on your package level, ranging from 70% to 85% of net revenue. Payments are made either quarterly or monthly, depending on your package, once your royalty balance reaches ₹1,000. You can track your sales and royalties in real-time through your author dashboard.
