Publishing Guidance
The publishing world in India can be overwhelming. Traditional publishers, hybrid models, self-publishing platforms — each has its own costs, timelines, fine print, and trade-offs. Most writers spend months researching and still feel unsure.
We make it simple. Tell us about your manuscript — the genre, your goals, your budget, your timeline — and we do the research for you. We put together a personalised shortlist of publishing options that genuinely fit your book, explain the pros and cons of each, and stay with you through every decision until your book is in print.
We do not push you towards any one publisher. Our only interest is finding the path that is right for you.
What's included:
One-on-one consultation call (30–45 minutes)
Personalised shortlist of 3–5 publishing options
Plain-language breakdown of costs, royalties, and timelines
Support through the publishing agreement and onboarding process
Follow-up check-in after publishing begins
Pricing: Free first consultation

Book Launch & Reading Packages
A book launch done well does more than sell copies on the day. It builds your identity as an author, brings your writing into a real room with real readers, and creates memories that last well beyond the event itself. We have been organising literary events across five cities for years and we bring all of that experience to every launch we plan.
Choose the package that fits your ambition and your budget. Every tier includes our full attention, our community network, and our genuine investment in making your book's first public moment count.

Corporate & Institutional Programmes
Stories do what spreadsheets cannot, they make people feel something. Authors Gully, through its parent community Poets of Community, brings years of literary experience across five cities directly into the organisations that need it.
We work with corporates, educational institutions, and CSR teams across three engagements.
Words at Work
Storytelling and communication workshops for teams tailored to your organisation's context, led by writers and facilitators from our community. Ideal for leadership teams, L&D calendars, culture programmes, and offsites.
Format: 2-3 Hours, Half-day or full-day, in-person or online
Pricing: ₹40,000–80,000 per session
​
School & College Literary Festivals
We design and anchor literary festivals for educational institutions author talks, student writing workshops, open mic sessions, and full event curation. A well-run literary festival changes something in a campus. We have seen it, and we know how to make it happen.
Pricing: ₹25,000–50,000 per institution
​
CSR Partnerships
For organisations whose giving mandates touch literacy, regional language promotion, or reading culture, we are a community-rooted partner with genuine depth, five-city reach, and the transparency CSR teams need. Open to both project-based and long-term engagements.
