Frequently Asked Questions
WHAT IS PENCIL PUBLISHING?

Pencil publishing is the world’s first incubated & accelerated publishing
module. The Pencil writing platform is a free platform that enables authors to
create, publish, and distribute their books worldwide in paperback and eBook
format. Pencil aims to empower writers with a variety of tools:

Pencil is the first free publishing platform that aids Omni distribution, i.e;
your paperback book is available on all major retailers like Amazon, Flipkart,
Barnes & Noble, and several more. Also, your eBook is made available on Amazon
Kindle, Google Play Books, Apple Books, and Kobo, to name a few. Pencil’s
royalty and sales reports are transparent and available to the author on a
monthly basis. Pencil helps the writer create, build, and increase the reading
audience. In addition to this, Pencil offers editing and designing services to
enhance the books’ quality, where needed. Pencil’s dashboard enables writers to
get real-time analytics to how their content is being consumed. (Note: This is
when the book is being consumed on the Pencil Reader App). Pencil enables
authors to make real-time changes through dynamic editing where the author can
create newer versions of the book,to improve the chances of its commercial
success. Pencil enables the writers to write in more formats than just the book
and keep their fans and audiences engaged. Also, helps in content discovery.
HOW MUCH TIME DOES IT TAKE TO PUBLISH A BOOK VIA PENCIL?

While the publishing process on Pencil takes up to an hour in case you have a
ready manuscript and cover design, once you digitally sign the author-publisher
agreement, the submitted book has to undergo a quality check process to be
published further.

Once verified, the book is available on the Pencil Reader App within 24-48
hours. In the case of eBook distribution to other retailers, it takes up to
10-14 days and in the case of paperback distribution to Indian and international
retailers, it takes up to 6-8 weeks. These timelines are subject to various
factors in the quality assurance process including but not limited to,
plagiarism errors, copyright errors, file errors, and other platform-mandated
guidelines.

HOW DO I START WRITING ON PENCIL?

Once you create your account and log in on our writing platform, you will be
directed to our main dashboard. At this stage, you can either select the option
to ‘Start Writing’ to write using our editor or add the manuscript or short to
the editor.

ARE THERE ANY MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS TO DISTRIBUTE MY BOOK IN EBOOK AND PAPERBACK
FORMAT?

In the case of eBook distribution, your book’s character count should be more
than 15000 characters. However, in the case of Paperback distribution, please
note that your book’s page count should be at least 50 pages. For paperback
distribution, we would recommend avoiding image-heavy or color-heavy text since
we use a standard 5X8, Black & White Print-on-demand model for distribution.

WHEN WILL I RECEIVE MY ROYALTY EARNINGS?

In the case of eBook sales on Pencil Reader App, the royalty will be credited
within 30 days from the month of sale. In the case of sales of your book in
eBook and Paperback format across Third-party Domestic and International
retailers, the royalty received from these platforms will be credited within 90
days from the month of sale.

WHAT IS THE AGE CRITERIA TO REGISTER ON PENCIL?

While there are no age criteria for registering on Pencil, but in case of
account holders below the age of 16, parental guidance is advised. In case you
are a minor publishing a book, we might need a legal guardian to sign the
agreement.
