What is Print On Demand (POD) Publishing?

Just like a traditional book publisher, a Print On Demand (POD) Book Publisher offers an author royalties and competitive contract for the rights to publish his or her book as paperback or hardcover. The POD Publisher makes this book available for order or purchase through brick and mortar retail stores, online booksellers and book distributors. The POD books and covers are kept in digital format until a purchase or order is made. When ordered, the individual book and cover is printed and bound. The paperback or hardcover book is then shipped to the individual or store that made the purchase. The process can take anywhere from one to three weeks.
