Basic
Everything you need to publish professionally.
Here's the full story.
The Basic plan is the cleanest, most affordable way to put a real book into the world with all the official paperwork done correctly. We handle the production craft — interior formatting and typesetting to a standard 5.5" × 8.5" trim, a professionally designed cover, ISBN registration through the Government of India's Raja Rammohun Roy National Agency for ISBN (RRRNA), and your Amazon Kindle e-book listing. You finish this plan with a properly published book, a portable ISBN that isn't locked to any single retailer, and a PGL author-directory certification you can point employers and partners to.
- ·First-time authors publishing a finished manuscript
- ·Writers who want a real, government-issued ISBN — not an Amazon-only ASIN
- ·Authors comfortable doing their own marketing after launch
Production on our side is roughly 3–4 weeks once the manuscript is accepted. ISBN processing through RRRNA typically adds a few more weeks, so plan for 6–8 weeks end-to-end.
You retain 100% of your rights and royalties. PGL never owns your work, on any plan — Free or paid.
