Learn more about Book Publishing & DistributionPrint on Demand
Printed beautifully. Only when it’s ordered.
Once your book is written, edited and finalized, the next step is printing. Print on demand means every copy is printed when a reader orders it — no warehouse, no wasted stock.
How we approach Print on Demand.
Printing is handled through the print-on-demand facility of each platform where your book is published. For example, when someone orders your book on Amazon, Amazon’s print-on-demand facility prints and ships it to the customer — and you are paid your royalty.
We prepare print-ready interior and cover files, help you choose your trim size, paper weight and ink quality, and set up printing on your publishing platforms. Need copies for an event, a launch or a local bookstore? Order as many as you like at cost price.

Do I get free copies of my book?
You can order as many copies of your book as you like, charged at cost price — meaning you pay only for printing and shipping.
Can I choose my ink quality, paper weight and book size?
Yes. We send you a list of options at the start of your publishing journey. Your book size is fixed once the book has been formatted, but you can change paper weight and ink quality at any time in the dashboard created for you.
Will I get a physical proof?
We use PDF proof copies as they are faster and more cost-effective. You’re welcome to order printed copies at cost price.
