Independent publishing (self-publishing)
Print on Demand has revolutionised the world of publishing. POD allows authors to easily set themselves up as micro-publishers, lay out the internal pages of their book, create a cover, produce any number of low-cost copies, and get that all-important listing on Amazon. I have led many authors through the maze of self-publishing, who are now selling their books to an eager readership. Self-publishing does not require the financial investment it once did.

Print on Demand keeps you in control of your own publication – and in possession of ALL your royalties. For published authors—if your publisher has allowed your book to go out of print, why not self-publish an updated version? All the hard work has already been done, we just have to lay out the pages and you continue to sell your book (with a greater share of the royalties than you ever received from the publisher). … Read More about Independent publishing (self-publishing)
