Books; we read them, cherish them, collect them and many of us want to write one but the process overwhelms us like waves crashing into a beach, it knocks us off our feet. The relentless parade of editors, publishers and agents poking and prodding your work into a marketable product can be frustrating, almost intimidating for some people. Until recently, the only alternative was an expensive vanity publication that fills your garage but graces few bookshelves but print on demand technology is opening new doors.
Using print on demand, a writer can produce a work for an intimate audience without the waste of a large print run. It can also provide an avenue into the market for writers who could not find the right agent or publisher to help their dream into print. While most of these titles lie unknown except to the author’s inner circle, occasionally one leaps into the mainstream like A Weird And Wonderful Guide To Barcelona by Le Cool, as reported by Lee Atkinson (Sydney Morning Herald).
Now all you have to do is write it.
