How To Publish Your Works Of Fiction On The Internet

By Larry Sabler


Digital technology is in the forefront of every marketing venture these days, including publishing. One of the top advances in publishing's recent history is print on demand technology, or POD - if you have some articles of works of fiction you wish to have published, this should be one of your options to choose from.

Print on demand makes it possible for a complete book to be printed and bound in an extremely short amount of time. Let's face it - conventional printing and binding can be very wasteful and expensive in the long run.

If you're considering the POD method to self-publish your fiction book, there are many online publishing service sites that will help you market your book. They will also take care of the printing and binding per order and will have your book listed on the online bookstores.

Quite naturally, there's a price to pay for having your fiction book handled. Their services do not include mastering, formatting or editing - although they will usually run a spell check on your document.

POD is the perfect solution for any rookie author wanting to have his/her fiction published. Another advantage is not having to have your book approved by editors or to sign any deals with publishing firms.

A lot of academic institutions are using POD as a way to cut down on the costs of printing and binding books, as well as storing unused copies of published books. Even non-fiction writers are jumping on the POD bandwagon, using this to cut down on costs and save time on getting their books published.

POD, though, is different from your usual self-publishing service. Self-publishing services, for instance, give you as the writer full control over the publishing process, and that would include pricing your book and designing the cover. If you choose POD, you're limited to the publisher's offering of services.

If you want to do some research on POD, there are several sites you can visit so you can take a look at their services and how exactly they work. They include, BookSurge, iUniverse, Xlibris and Blurb.

Print on demand is perfect for any writer, especially newer ones, who have more important things to do than risk their articles not getting published by commercial publishers. POD could be your big chance, especially if you've tried your luck with conventional publishers but failed to get noticed.
