Print On Demand
The best way to affordably print and sell your printed books as they are ordered in the biggest bookstores around the world. Starting at just $99.
What is Print On Demand?
On demand printing is the biggest revolution in book printing since the Gutenberg press, making it convenient and affordable for self-published authors to print and sell their books straight to readers around the world.
In the past, self-published authors were plagued with large upfront costs, printing more books than necessary, and managing excess inventory on their own. Print On Demand erases those troubles with an efficient small-run printing process that still provides maximum exposure, but with more author control and minimal investment.
Why King Rush Publishing POD is the best way to deliver your printed books
- Low upfront costs: No inventory is needed so you can avoid having to purchase and store hundreds of books.
- Your complete publishing solution: Add Print On Demand to any printed book order (of 25 or more), and we’ll take care of everything—managing your book production, shipping, and—most importantly—paying your royalties.
- Reach millions of readers: Your printed books will be available at Amazon, B&N, Powell’s and thousands of other stores and wholesale bookstore catalogs like Ingram and Baker & Taylor, around the world. Just like the big-name authors!
