Print on Demand (POD) Books

Well, at BookPal we were freaking excited to launch our POD service, we are probably one of the very few companies in Australia who can do real POD books.

What does this mean for authors? Well, simply now you no longer have to print a couple of hundred books and have them stored up in a garage praying that someone would buy them.

Instead what you would now do is set up your book, and then forever your book will be able to be printed as and when you or your customers order it.

The best thing is that we can even do it for you in the US and UK, and have your book made available in the system of 25,000 bookstores in the US and UK. Along with thousands of internet bookstores.

So as and when somebody orders one of your books from any of these outlets, the book will be instantly printed from a central location and posted out to the bookstore or directly to the customer.

In a sense it is a no risk publishing option available to self publishers. Great thing for Australian self publishers!
