Self Publishing, like the traditional publishing is a way to publish and release your book, but the difference is the approach and methodology followed. While traditional publishing approaches with the bulk printing and distribution, self publishing gives you tools and services to keep book on Print on Demand basis, i.e. it is produced as per demand.

Self-publishing can never be a substitute for traditional publishing. In traditional publishing, the production, marketing and all responsibilities of books are taken up by publisher, whereas in case of self publishing, it completely lies with the author.

Authors are suggested to go with self publishing, only if they believe that they may take book promotion/ marketing on their own or else if they have enough fund which they can provide to self publishing companies for the same or else if they need books only for their personal circulation. Many of the self published authors were successful in selling thousands of copies, whereas many failed sell even a single copy.

Self Publishing works with Print on Demand model. In PoD model, only a limited number of copies are produced by using the help of digital printers, which ensure that there are no bulk investments required to print and make available the books. Thus, the initial investments in PoD are much lower as compared with offset printing model.

However once it comes to single copy price, in PoD, the printing cost with digital printers is higher. However, for our self published books we try to keep this margin as low as possible.
