    An insurance guide for self-published authors

    What's the story

    In the dynamic world of publishing, Indian self-published authors encounter distinct hurdles, particularly in protecting their hard-earned work and income.

    Grasping the ins and outs of insurance is vital for these creative entrepreneurs.

    This article explores practical insurance wisdom specifically for self-published authors in India, empowering them to shield their literary masterpieces and financial well-being.

    IP insurance

    Protect your intellectual property

    Intellectual property (IP) insurance is essential for authors to protect themselves against copyright infringement claims.

    It covers legal costs, which can be significant if your work is accused of infringing on someone else's copyright.

    For a self-published author, legal defense costs can easily exceed ₹100,000.

    IP insurance provides financial security, enabling you to contest infringement claims without depleting your life's savings.

    Income protection

    Secure your income with disability insurance

    Disability insurance is super important for authors! Writing means lots of typing, and health problems can definitely get in the way.

    This insurance pays you money if you can't work because you're sick or hurt.

    Even though it costs a bit (those premiums, ugh!), it's totally worth it. Keeps those health hiccups from turning into money meltdowns. You deserve that peace of mind!

    Health coverage

    Consider health insurance options

    Health insurance is important for everyone, especially self-published authors who may not have access to group plans through an employer.

    Medical emergencies can result in high costs and lost time from writing.

    A good health insurance plan provides coverage for hospitalization, surgery, and critical illness, helping to protect you from high medical costs.

    This way, you can focus on getting better, not on bills.

    Workspace safety

    Safeguard your workspace with property insurance

    Indian indie authors often operate from home offices equipped with expensive equipment like computers and printers.

    Property insurance protects against losses due to fire, theft, or natural calamities.

    Selecting the appropriate coverage guarantees they'll be reimbursed for damages, allowing them to get back to writing promptly.

    This safeguard is vital for their career and financial peace of mind in the face of unforeseen circumstances.
