As writers are becomingly increasingly frustrated with traditional
publishers and the long wait for their works to come into print, there is becoming more and more need for Print-on-
demand, or POD publishers. POD publishers allow
authors to get their work out to potential readers in a reasonable length of time and keep creative control of their written word. All POD publishers are not created equally. The types of works each house will publish varies substantially as do the
costs, the distribution of your published works, the rights you will retain, and the royalties you will earn. Print-on-Demand Publishers Directory: 2006 Edition is a much needed resource for authors interested in POD
publishing. This constantly growing list contains an alphabetical listing of POD Publishers worldwide. Each
entry includes contact information and a short blurb about the regulations, costs, and royalty rates. Each entry also includes the website URL for further investigation of a particular POD publisher.
