The Essentials

Frequently asked questions

In what language do you publish?
KBA13 Insight publishes in English to reach an international readership. A manuscript written in Indonesian is considered not yet at the international level; if you are committed to publishing with us, translation from Indonesian into English is arranged and borne by the author.
Where will my book be sold?
Your book is distributed to Amazon and a network of leading international book marketplaces, in both ebook and paperback editions, reaching readers worldwide.
Who provides the ISBN?
KBA13 Insight provides the ISBNs for your editions. You do not need to purchase or register one yourself.
Will I receive a printed proof or author copy?
We do not ship printed proof copies. Because titles are released as ebook and paperback, authors purchase their own copies directly on Amazon at author cost whenever they wish.
How am I told about the decision on my manuscript?
Every submission is acknowledged immediately. The editorial decision is then delivered to you by email. Internal assessment details are not shared with authors.
How do royalties work?
Royalties from Amazon, the international marketplace network, and partner outlets are calculated automatically. Statements are delivered to your dashboard and email whenever your book sells.
How and when am I paid?
Payment is made by bank transfer according to the schedule in your publishing agreement. For international transfers, applicable transfer fees apply as set out in the agreement.
Is there a publishing agreement?
Yes. Once your manuscript is accepted and revised, a publishing cooperation agreement is prepared between you and KBA13 Insight, covering distribution, royalties, and payment. You review and sign it from your Author Dashboard.
How do I communicate with KBA13 Insight?
All communication — messages, files, feedback, agreements, and reports — takes place through your private Author Dashboard.
Author copies: to hold your book in your hands, simply order it on Amazon like any reader — ebook or paperback — at author cost.
