SDA Publishers
Print on demand and low-volume printing
"Print on demand" printers can be a good choice
if you have a small run of books that you want to market yourself.
The printer may also have outlets to help sell your book. However,
unlike traditional printers, these printers require you to pay
for the printing yourself, and most or all of the promotion is
your responsibility too. On the other hand, all the profit from
book sales is yours!
Traditional publishers
Traditional publishers will usually edit, design, and promote
your book for you at their own expense. This usually means less
cost and less work for you — but in exchange for reduced
personal risk, you have less control of editing and design, and
less profit per piece. However, if your book is a great success,
a traditional publisher will most likely bring you more income
in royalties than you would have been able to earn publishing
the book yourself. Your book will most likely
be of higher quality, and your book will have a greater chance
of reaching outlets such as Adventist Book Centers.
