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 is another meaning for publish on demand, in reference
to publishing models. Find out more about
publishing business models.
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

publishers etc as your books unique identification.
