Publish on Demand
Publishing on demand means that you only publish your book or digital
media once it has been purchased. Hence it is done on a one at a
time basis.
There are a number of publishers that offer this service, including
Amazon.
My two favourites are:
- Book Surge [ now owned
by Amazon]
- Lulu.com - a fantastic site
with heaps of invaluable information on formatting, covers, and
includes online publishing tools for books, photo albums, CD's.
Also very useful cost calculator. Lulu also provide you with a
free storefront and listing service to sell your book. A highly
rated site.
Both of these sites offer services such as:
- Prepublising paid services - editorial or graphics
- Publishing online tools
- Formatting guidelines for both print pages and cover
- Cost calculators
- Sales tools
- Press Release guidelines
- Marketing tips
ISBN Identification
If you are intending to go into the print version, you may like
to consider obtaining an ISBN number. This is a 10-digit international
number for your book that is used by all bookstores, libraries,
publishers etc as your books unique identification.
R R Bowker is the exclusive US source of publisher prefixes and
accompanying ranges of ISBN numbers for eligible publishers. For
more information.
