BOOK PUBLISHING : Print-on-demand for Australia
Authors and businesses published under the Vivid Publishing imprint have the option of making their titles available worldwide via our distribution partner INGRAM - the world’s largest book distribution & wholesale company.
For a basic set-up fee and minimal annual subscription, your title will be available to the largest possible audience. With over 50,000 wholesalers, retailers and booksellers in over 100 countries your titles will gain the maximum exposure in the market today. With print to order, your book is printed and ready for shipment in 12 hours or less.
Print on demand (POD), sometimes called publish on demand, is a method where new copies of a book are not printed until an order has been received via a distribution channel. Major advantages for small publishers and authors include:
+ no inventory required;
+ single copy orders are viable and profitable to fulfill;
+ economical setup costs so minimal financial risk;
+ access to world’s largest distribution channel
Vivid Publishing Print on Demand, or [VIVID POD] connects you with the world’s largest distribution channel of book wholesalers and retailers.
Australian market
Additionally, [VIVID POD] books are listed with TitlePage®, Australia’s most widely used book-trade availability and bibliographic information database. Your title will be always available, easily found and ordered-in through all major & independent bookstores. Single book orders right through to bulk purchasing requests can be handled seamlessly by Vivid Publishing’s print-order department, leaving yourself free to concentrate on getting the word out while royalties accumulate.
