Print-on-Demand Printers
and POD Publishers

This page features a list of services which provide on-demand production (printing on demand) of books. Many of these companies can print, bind, and ship one book at a time, although most are more efficient and cost-effective at doing 10 to 100 copies. We try to be comprehensive in these listings, so we list anyone. A listing does not necessarily mean a recommendation by us. — John Kremer, author of 1001 Ways to Market Your Books

A new author just began the publishing process with us and mentioned some prices that our competitors are charging. He was so happy to have discovered Outskirts Press, and no wonder! I didn't know our competitors were so different, but listen to this:

One of them wanted $16,000 dollars to publish his book! Another publisher wanted over $6,000!

Obviously, that was too much money. He found a few ondemand publishers that charge prices comparable to ours, except the book's retail price was going to be $5 more for each book. His 6.14 x 9.21 paperback is 140 pages and they were going to force a retail price of $15.99!

Instead, his book is published by Outskirts Press with a retail price of $10.95. He is earning $3.61 for every book, which is a royalty equal to 33% of the retail price! Yes, even on books sold through Amazon. Most of our competitors force a higher retail price AND pay less than 20%.
