Transcript

What are the requirements of self or subsidy publishers? Self or subsidy publishers like print-on-demand companies require manuscripts. Self-publishers will take them in a paper form or a computer file form. Like the print-on-demand companies, they will also require funding by the author both to get the book printed as well as services that the author may desire, cover design, illustrations, things of that nature. Subsidy publishers are variant of self-publishing firms like ours and they essentially have the ability in relationships with major booksellers and internet sites to market the work of an unknown author to the literary market place. The author pays for their services as well as the printing.
