What is self-publishing?
Self-publishing is the process of independently publishing your book without sharing copyright or royalties with a traditional publisher. It allows you to retain full rights to your work, control every aspect of the publication, and receive 100% of the net profit from sales.
How is self-publishing different from traditional publishing?
Self-publishing gives authors full control over their work and retains all rights, whereas traditional publishing involves signing over rights and royalties to the publisher. Self-published authors manage their book’s production, distribution, and marketing independently.
What types of books can I self-publish?
You can self-publish a wide range of genres, including fiction (e.g., drama, science fiction, fantasy) and non-fiction (e.g., biography, memoir, cookbook). Whether it’s a novel, academic thesis, or motivational guide, if you can write it, we can help publish it.
How do I obtain an ISBN for my book?

What is royalty and its payout frequency?
Royalty represents the author’s share of the net profit from each copy of their book sold. At Exceller Books, we are proud to offer you 100% of the net profit as royalty. This means you retain the full financial benefit from your book sales.
Royalty payments are processed monthly, providing you with regular, transparent earnings from your book’s success.
How is royalty calculated?
