Frequently Asked Questions

Kahaniyan offers end-to-end book publishing services including biography writing, memoir writing, ghostwriting, legacy books, celebrity memoir, book editing, cover design, ISBN registration, print publishing, eBook publishing, and global distribution through Amazon and major bookstores.

We work with individuals from all walks of life — entrepreneurs, retired professionals, IAS officers, doctors, military veterans, spiritual leaders, homemakers, social workers, celebrities, and anyone with a meaningful story to share. If you have a story, we have the expertise to tell it.

In ghostwriting, you share your experiences with our writer who writes the entire manuscript — you do not write a single word but your name appears as the author. In memoir writing, we work more collaboratively — you write with our guidance and editorial support. Both result in a book that sounds completely like you.

A typical biography or memoir takes 4 to 9 months from start to finish — including research, writing, editing, design, and publishing. A shorter memoir may take 3 to 4 months. Legacy books with extensive research may take 9 to 12 months. We provide a clear timeline at the start of every project.

Step 1: Consultation — we understand your story and goals. Step 2: Planning — we create a detailed outline and project plan. Step 3: Research & Interviews — our writer works closely with you. Step 4: Writing — drafts are shared chapter by chapter for your review. Step 5: Editing — professional editing and proofreading. Step 6: Design — cover design and interior layout. Step 7: Publishing — ISBN, print, eBook, and distribution.

As much or as little as you prefer. For ghostwriting projects, we conduct structured interviews and handle all the writing. For memoir projects, we guide you through the process with regular sessions. We adapt entirely to your comfort level and schedule.

Absolutely. Every ghostwriting project comes with complete confidentiality. We sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) before the project begins. Your involvement with us remains entirely private. The book is published under your name and copyright — our role is never disclosed.

You do — 100%. The manuscript, all rights, and the copyright belong entirely to you from the moment it is created. We do not retain any rights to your work, story, or content.

Never. Your personal information, story details, and project information are kept strictly confidential within our team. We do not share your data with any third party for any reason.
