Print On Demand
Your book is printed the moment somebody orders it, shipped from the nearest facility, and never sits boxed up in your garage.
Print on demand removes the worst financial risk in publishing: paying for a print run before you know whether the book sells. One copy ordered, one copy printed, one copy shipped.
How it works
We prepare a print-ready interior and cover to your chosen trim size, then place the title into global print networks. A reader orders from a retailer, the nearest facility prints and dispatches it, and your royalty is calculated on the sale.
Quality, honestly
Modern POD is very good — good enough that most readers cannot tell it from an offset run. Where it differs is on speciality finishes and very large volumes. If you need those for an event or a bulk order, short-run offset is the better call and we will say so.
- No minimum order and no upfront print spend
- Paperback and hardcover, multiple trim sizes and paper stocks
- Automatic global fulfilment from regional facilities
- Author copies available at production cost
What’s included
Zero upfront print cost
Nothing is printed, and nothing is paid for, until a reader places an order.
Regional fulfilment
Orders print near the buyer, which cuts both shipping cost and delivery time.
Author copies at cost
Order your own stock for events and signings at the production rate.
