What does Print On Demand mean?

Print On Demand (POD) provides a cost-effective and convenient way for self-published authors to print and sell their books directly to readers globally. POD enables authors to market and distribute their books worldwide without the hassle of storage, shipping, or maintaining inventory.

How Print On Demand distribution functions:

  1. Listing Your Book: Your book is listed with major retailers and wholesalers, including Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Walmart, wholesale distributors, and on Book Baby Officials Bookshop.

  2. Customer Purchase: Customers buy and pay for your book online through these retailers, wholesalers, or Book Baby Officials.

  3. Order Fulfillment: The retailer or Book Baby Officials print, bind, and package the book on demand, whether it’s a single copy or multiple copies.

  4. Shipping: Printed books are shipped directly from the retailer or wholesaler to the buyer, or directly to the customer if purchased through Book Baby Officials Bookshop.

  5. Payment: We handle payment collection, deduct printing and selling costs, and provide you with the net sales.
