Should you print your full color picture books overseas or print-on-demand (POD). Let’s take a hard look at numbers. Indie publishers must balance profits and risks, but to do that you need solid information.
This is great information! I’m so glad that I subscribed. You have so many wonderful books too. Can you share the name of the offset printer you used just in case we decide to use offset at some point without having to go overseas? Thanks for the info.
Hey! I can’t share that publicly, sorry. Each time I do an offset, I get new bids from several places, and don’t use the same one each time. Paper costs and availability, supply chain, and the book’s specifications can make big differences in prices. Still, offset is an option to keep in mind!
Can you please share how you determine if an offset printer is legitimate and not a scammer? It's sometimes hard to tell with so many options out there. Thank you.
Thank you so much for your willingness to share your expertise. As a first-time children's author, the printing process is very complex. Your words are very helpful!
