There are many Print-On-Demand publishers and most produce a quality book. POD technology permits you to publish at a reasonable cost, but comprehensive marketing is the only way your book will earn a profitable return on your investment.
Fiction Publishing offers the maximum distribution of your book through Amazon, Ingram, Barnes and Noble, the United Kingdom and Europe. Additionally, each Fiction Publishing Author has their own web page at no charge.
Who is Fiction Publishing?
Fiction Publishing, a new publisher, started by an author of several books that
were published by the leading POD publishers. Each of these companies offered a
variety of publishing programs, but the expected return on investment did not
materialize. The reasons are simple:
First, the retail prices of the books were too high, which priced them out of
reach for most consumers.
Second, The profit margin to the Author after wholesale discounts was miniscule.
Third, In many instances the inventory of books held by the Author was too
costly.
What Is A Better Way?
Print-On-Demand technology eliminates the need for a publisher to inventory even
a single book, but they urge the author to purchase their own books in large
quantities. This shifts the inventory to the Author but is profitable to the
company. Why not let the Author take advantage of Print-On-Demand and not
require the Author to inventory a large quantity of books. Make sense?
