Print on Demand Publishing Success

Print on Demand publishing is one of the most significant creations in the book publishing industry in recent years. The benefits are tremendous and are enabling thousands of authors to jump into the book publishing game without having to invest huge money in doing large book printings upfront.

Print on Demand is very economical and smart when considering your new career in the book publishing industry. 

When you have your book published, your manuscript and book cover files ready to print, you have to decide how you’re going to get your book printed up. Traditional book publishers have thousands of copies of your book printed up at one time.

This lowers the per book cost but the initial upfront money for printing up 10,000 copies of a book can cost a little under $25,000 or over; depending on who you have print it, whether you have color in your book, hard or soft back cover, and the page count of the book. Print on Demand is much different. 

If those books don’t sell at the bookstores then they will come back to haunt you because the bookstores will ship these damaged books back to your publisher (if traditionally published) or you (if self-published).

You’ve heard the many horror stories of people having hundreds and thousands of books sitting in their garage that didn’t sell. Print on Demand publishing has truly been a dream for small publishing companies and self-published authors alike. You no longer have to worry about your book not selling with this form of publishing.  

Once your manuscript and book cover files are ready to be printed into book form, your files are simply stored with your publisher and/or printer and when you need copies printed up, the amount of books you specify are printed and shipped to you. No more books and no less than the amount of books you need are shipped to you.

That’s why we’ve seen the emergence of so many self-publishing services companies spring up in the past decade; all providing services for authors who want to self-publish taking advantage of Print on Demand publishing, but don’t want to have to handle all the work in creating a book themselves.  

Our company, GMA Publishing, is a self publishing services company, for instance. We provide authors who are taking advantage of self publishing the opportunity to have all of the services completed by us; a professional company.

Otherwise, these self publishing authors, will have to learn all about book cover design, manuscript layout, buying ISBN’s, registering their copyright, establishing a business with one of many printers, book editing, and a lot of other detailed facets of producing a professional book.

Most authors simply want to focus on writing a great book and marketing their book, not all of the other work, so they hire a company like us to produce a professional book for them and establish distribution to thousands of book sellers world-wide.  

Once the book is created the author orders the amount of books that they need, not how many thousand we are printing up at once, to go out and sell. This Print on Demand option is great because you don’t have to outlay cash for thousands of books you haven’t sold. Most authors simply order a hundred or so books from us at a time to sell at their speaking engagements or through their website.  

Self published books used to really look “self published,” and many still do depending on who publishes it and who designs the cover and manuscript, but now self published books are becoming more and more mainstream and are really becoming a strong counter culture to traditional book publishing because of the power of Print on Demand (POD) printing.
