Free Presentation about Print-on-Demand Publishing

Authors Beware:
The Pleasures and Perils of Publishing by Print-on-Demand

Print-on-Demand (P.O.D.) is a revolutionary method for rapidly producing professional-quality hardcover and paperback books. Often praised as a panacea for unpublished authors, this rosy path to publication can be a quicksand of pitfalls, predators, and hidden costs. This lively session explains how P.O.D. compares with traditional commercial publishing; how to understand and evaluate the options; how to distinguish genuine P.O.D. companies from the slippery vanity presses; and how to use the best facets of this new technology to publish your own book.
