How Publishing with Shhalaj Works | From Enquiry to Onboarding

Read about the publishing routes, distribution, investment, royalties and what each side is responsible for.

Decide whether hybrid publishing or an individual service is closest to what you need.

Submit your manuscript through the Author Portal, or tell us about your project and objectives.

For hybrid and service enquiries, a conversation about the manuscript, your goals and the right route.

Shhalaj evaluates the manuscript and your requirements, then gives you a written publishing proposal or service quotation.

You review and accept the applicable terms. Rights, royalties and responsibilities are explained in plain language first.

You use the Author Portal to follow production, review proofs and, once your book is on sale, see royalty statements.
