Print On Demand
A successful concept for authors to get their books published. Though this might mean resorting to costlier means of getting your books published but is a helpful means of bringing your talent in the eye of public.
Authors might have to compromise on the set up cost and royalty. The bright side is that instead of facing a refusal from the publishing and printing companies, you can simply sign the POD contract and get you book published.
The stakes of publishing and printing companies are high; their investments in printing books are huge. The ratio of risk between failure and success are equal but in case of new authors the risk of failures are usually high. The unsold stock with the publisher means loss to the publisher.
On one hand POD contract poses the advantage of getting new authors book published but on the other hand Print On Demand contract brings about some factors that should be considered.
a)Â Authors should understand that books will not be available on book stores. Only single copy of the book will be printed. Printing of multiple copies will only done when demand of their books arise from the book sellers.
b)Â Authors will have to do the marketing themselves
c)Â Higher printing costs
d)Â Higher cover cost
e)Â Set up cost
f)Â Less Royalty payments
Whatever the odds. The new authors have the advantage of getting their books published using Print on Demand printing technique.
