A parent's guide to publishing your child's book

You do not need to be a writer, and neither does your child. If they have a story in them, here is exactly how it becomes a real book they can hold. No jargon, no pressure.

01.Question 1

Is my child ready?

Almost every child is. You do not need a gifted writer. You need a child with a story or an idea and a little help shaping it. We work with kids aged 7 to 16, from first-time writers to ones who fill notebooks. If they can tell you a story out loud, they can write a book with us.

02.Question 2

What actually happens

It is simpler than it sounds. Your child brings an idea or a draft. We help them shape and finish it, edit it properly, design a cover, and print it as a real paperback. Then we publish it with its own ISBN, on Amazon and in bookstores. You do none of the technical work. We handle all of it.

03.Question 3

Is it a real book, really?

Yes. A real ISBN, a printed paperback, a cover with your child's name on it, listed on Amazon.in and Amazon.com. Not a printout, not a PDF. A book you can find, order, and put on a shelf.

04.Question 4

How long does it take?

Most books take a few weeks to a few months, depending on the length and how much your child wants to write. A short story is quick. A full novel takes longer. We move at your child's pace, not a factory's.

05.Question 5

What does it cost?

It depends on the format and how much help you want. A short story in a shared anthology starts around Rs 4,000. A full picture book or novel is more. We always tell you the full price up front, with no surprises. There is a free 15 minute call first, no card needed, so you can decide with everything in front of you.

06.Question 6

What your child actually gets

A finished book, yes. But also the thing that lasts: the day they hold their own book and realise they made it. Children who publish carry that pride for years. It changes how they see themselves as writers, and often as people.
