  1. Step 1

    Tell us about the book

    Title, author name, description, category, language. Five minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Upload two files

    Your print-ready interior PDF (A5 or A4, fonts embedded) and a cover image. We check them on the spot and tell you exactly what to fix if anything is wrong.

  3. Step 3

    Choose format and price

    Pick paper and cover finish from what our printers support. See the printing cost, platform fee and your royalty per copy before you decide.

  4. Step 4

    Preview and submit

    Choose which sample pages the public may see. Confirm you own the rights. An administrator reviews it, usually within two working days.

  5. Step 5

    Sell, earn, repeat

    Readers order, a Sri Lankan printer prints that copy, a courier delivers it, and your royalty accrues. Paid monthly to your bank account.

File requirements

  • Interior: one PDF, portrait, A5 (148 × 210 mm) or A4 (210 × 297 mm), optionally with 3 mm bleed on every side. 24 to 800 pages. Every page the same size.
  • All fonts embedded. Sinhala and Tamil fonts especially: without embedding they print as boxes. In Word choose Save as PDF with "ISO 19005-1 (PDF/A)"; in InDesign export with "Embed all fonts".
  • No password or security settings. Images at 300 dpi for sharp printing.
  • Cover image: JPG or PNG, portrait, at least 1000 px tall. A full print cover PDF (back, spine, front) is optional; our printers can build a plain wrap from the front cover.

Money, plainly

Your royalty = selling price minus printing cost, platform fee (20%) and payment processing (about 3.4% + LKR 50). The wizard shows the exact rupees for your book. Example: an A5 black-and-white paperback of 200 pages prints for about LKR 680; sold at LKR 1,500, you earn about LKR 269 per copy. Royalties become payable 30 days after delivery and are paid monthly once your balance passes LKR 2,000.
