November 24, 2007 (FPRC) -- Traditional publishers reject up to 98% of all the manuscripts submitted to them. Considering the fact that about 81% of Americans believe they have “a book in them” that suggests a very large number of frustrated writers looking in vain for a publisher. Worldwide it goes into tens or hundreds of millions.
Thanks to the latest developments in digital printing new authors can publish quickly using inexpensive print-on-demand (POD) technology. Our “Print-on-Demand Publishers Directory 2008” helps them to compare and select a POD service best suited to their needs.
In recent years numerous POD services have come into being offering their services to new authors. 21st Century Research compiles a directory of over 75 POD services mostly located in USA but also in Australia, Canada, Germany, Ireland, Mexico, England, Scotland and Wales.
Entries in the directory include full addresses, telephones, faxes, and web sites. It also includes information on contracts, distribution, royalties, prices and other submission details. Street addresses are important particularly when authors are not satified with the service and want to take legal action against a POD publisher.
Authors can use this directory to compare and select one or more POD services. They can choose non-exclusive contracts, keep all TV, film and audio rights, and negotiate royalty and book price levels. Unpublished authors can forget the agents and once published their book will never be out of print as long as it remains in a POD database.
The companion "Print-on-Demand Printers Directory 2008" is designed for self-publishing authors who can design their own books in print-ready format. They in fact act as publishers and deal directly with book printers many of whom are installing digital presses and are increasingly able to produce books even in quantity of one. Most POD book printers provide excellent Request for Quotes(RFQ) forms online. These should be used by authors to evaluate book production prices based on number of pages, paper quality, binding, format, color, cover design etc.
These directories are available at a price of $ 10.00 each($13.00 outside USA) with free handling and shipping by first class airmail. Use your credit card with PayPal. Checks or money orders should be made payable to:
