easy for you to create, publish, and distribute your book in Print.
Who owns the rights to my book?

What is an ISBN and will my book get an ISBN number?
“ISBN stands for International Standard Book Number. It’s basically a 13 digit identification number that booksellers and libraries use to identify books, magazines, newspapers or other publications. Separate ISBNs are assigned for the paperback, hardbound and eBook versions of your book. “
Can I track how many books I’ve sold?
A consolidated sales report, including image proof of stock, will be provided at the end of each month.
How do I set the selling price of my book?
The selling price of a book is dependent on its production cost. The Calculate Author Earnings feature on the Blue Hawk website helps you know the production cost of your book based on the Number of Pages, Book Format, Book Size & Book Type. With this, you can set the retail price of your book and ascertain the earnings that you would receive on sale of every copy.
How many copies of my book will you print?
The inventory is Printed-On-Demand (POD) based on sales velocity to ensure that the book does not go out of stock. Blue Hawk works with its various print partners across the globe to make sure your book is printed and delivered to your buyer within the turn around time. This ensures that the latest version of your book is always available when readers order it from the Blue Hawk Store or various eCommerce sites.
Will I receive post-publishing support?
How are Author Earnings calculated for print books?
Profit is calculated as the difference between the MRP and expenses incurred during the production and distribution of the book. Profit = MRP – Expenses (Distribution Cost + Production Cost). Writers who publish with Blue Hawk receive 50% of the net profits from the sale of each copy of the book sold via our platform.
Profits earned from Blue Hawk Online Store (Malaysia): Sample Calculation: Let us assume, the MRP of a book is RM100, and the production cost of the book is RM30/- . The Distribution Cost (Payment Processing and Order Fulfilment Charges) is RM20/-. Therefore, profits are calculated as Profits = MRP – (Distribution Cost + Production Cost) = RM100 – (20 + 30) = RM50 Author Earnings (50% net profits): RM50 * 50% = RM25
How often will I receive my Author Earnings?
Profits from print book sales: Your earnings for each month is paid out within 40 days from the end of the month the sales are reported in.
For example, all sales for the month of January are paid to you by the 10th of March.

“I first worked with Jegan(Blue Hawk) on my Rotary Club souvenir program and was so impressed that I chose him for my book project, Achieving Abundance. He patiently guided me from layout to printing, resulting in a professional and polished final product. For any author or organization looking for someone to rely on—Jegan is the one!”
