Print on Demand Puts YOU in complete control of publishing your book. 

We have compiled a group of resources to give you an objective, unbiased over-view of resources available in the POD industry today to publish and market your book.

iUniverse

"iUniverse provides individuals a simple, fast and affordable way to publish books, market books, and sell fiction and non-fiction books. The company is one of the largest book publishing companies in the United States. iUniverse eliminates the necessity of massive print runs, dramatically shortens time-to-market, and gives authors control over when and how their works are published."

"When it comes to publishing books only iUniverse offers you the advantages of traditional publishing as well as the time-to-market benefits associated with print-on-demand publishing."

"We enable you to ensure the creative quality of your book with an Editorial Review. We produce great-looking books, each with a custom cover. We make your book available everywhere readers buy books. Only iUniverse makes real dollar marketing investments in books that show promise through our Star Program. And only iUniverse has book marketing programs endorsed by Barnes & Noble, the world's largest bookseller."

"Our expert staff of publishing professionals guide you through the publication process. We don't charge a big price for services, and our fees are clear so you know exactly what you are getting prior to publishing a book. After publication, we offer marketing products and support that help you find the audience for your book
."
 

 

Instantpublisher.com

"... will help sell your book by listing the first 20 pages of the publication on our web site. Each week large publishing houses, publishing companies, book brokers and bookstores will be e-mailed about new listings to our site. If there is an interest in your book, you will be notified and can make the deal, Instantpublisher.com only wants to help, this service is free to all of our customers."

Short-run book publishing is usually 200 to 5000 books however, now for the first time in publishing history from a professional publishing company, the minimum is just 25 books. Authors can receive a small number of quality produced books to send to bookstores or large publishing houses directly from a professional book publisher. Instantpublisher.com's book sizes and styles conform to the book publisher industry standards with high quality paper and materials with various binding options.

The success of Instantpublisher.com is directly related to the success of our customers whose books we produce. Most of these customers come from a desktop publishing or short run print on demand background. A large percentage of our business comes from repeat customers and referrals. Instantpublisher.com has printed thousand of titles, including fiction, religious, poetry, how-to books, local histories as well as books and manuals for companies and organizations.

Self-publishing has become one of the fastest growing segments of the publishing industry. The best authors may not initially be published by a large publishing house but after the book is printed and distributed in published form by a professional book publisher, unknown authors enter into large publishing contracts. Unless an author is nationally known or has a manuscript with almost certain sales potential and definite outlet, a publishing house may hesitate to publish a book title.

Now, any person who writes a book can design the cover and text pages in any Microsoft Windows or Mac based program and with the use of the free POD software, talents and equipment of Instantpublisher.com can be used to test the book's sales potential by self publishing in small quantities.

Instantpublisher.com is a publishing company that specializes in both one-color and full color text printing in four popular book sizes 41/4 x 7; 5 ฝ" x 8 ฝ" ; 6" x 9" ; and 8 ฝ" x 11". Seven different binding styles are available and your cover design can be either full color or one color. All covers are laminated with a thin coat of plastic to give a professional appearance to the book.

Instantpublisher.com does not buy any manuscripts outright, we pay no royalties, we do not market or distribute your books except for free listings on our web site. Authors pay the entire cost to publish a book. Authors have complete design control over the text, cover and binding style. Instantpublisher.com does not set any type or compose any pages.

We print an original from a digital file, so the customer gets an original on every book. The finished copies, the copyright and all subsidiary rights belong exclusively to the author. Instantpublisher.com can provide an ISBN number for your book for an additional charge.

"Selling through CafePress.com is FREE. There are no pre-printing, setup or inventory fees. Every time you sell an item, we keep the base price and you earn your markup. Checks are sent out monthly."

"... gives you the power to publish and sell print on demand books, e-books, music, images, calendars and more."

"It's free to publish through Lulu. Instead of charging creators for services, Lulu earns a small commission on each item sold. When you publish on Lulu, you set your own royalty. We pay creators royalties from their sales each month. That translates into a better deal for you."

"Lulu is also home to a thriving community of creators. Our community page is a great place to learn more about who we are, but you can also read testimonials from Lulu customers or go straight to the Lulu forums and talk directly to other users."

"Since 1997, AuthorHouse, the leading self-publishing company in the world, has helped authors achieve their book publishing goals with over 23,000 books in print. Choosing a reputable book publisher, among the many book publishing companies and book publishers available, is a very critical step towards the self-publishing process. Publishing a book with AuthorHouse means you'll be guided by author advocates who are serious about writing and publishing. They will help you choose the best book publishing options and the most effective marketing tools."

"Unlike some book publishers, AuthorHouse authors retain all rights and control decisions around the publishing and marketing of their book.
