Author's Channel calculates profit by subtracting expenses (distribution and production costs) from the book's MRP. Profit = MRP – (Distribution Cost + Production Cost).

Writers in the Outpublish Program enjoy 100% of the book's net profits. We prioritize empowering authors for their publishing success.

Writers earn a competitive share, receiving 60% or 80% of net profits from book sales based on the chosen distribution plan with Notion Press.

Sample Calculation:

Let us assume, the MRP of a book is Rs.100, and the production cost of the book is Rs.30/-. Now, the profits would be calculated as

Profits = MRP - (Distribution Cost + Production Cost)

= Rs.100 - (50 + 30) = Rs. 20

Rs.20/- would be your earnings per book when sold via Amazon.in, Flipkart and all other eCommerce sites and in retail stores.

Author's Channel Press charges a 20% distribution fee on all online store orders to account for Payment Processing and Order Fulfilment Charges.

Profits are calculated as Rs.100 - (20 + 30) = Rs.50

Author Earnings if you have chosen the Outpublish Program (100% net profits):

Author's Channel Press Online Store= Rs. 50

Other Stores = Rs. 20

Author Earnings if you have chosen the India/International Distribution (80% net profits):

Author's Channel Press Online Store= Rs.40

Other Stores (Amazon, Flipkart)= Rs.16

Author Earnings if you have chosen the Basic Distribution (60% net profits):

Author's Channel Press Online Store= Rs.30

Other Stores (Amazon, Flipkart)= Not Applicable
