Paperback Books

Print on Demand: Once the final manuscript and cover is provided, the physical book is printed utilizing our Print on Demand (POD) process. All setup is handled by DPZ. We can print your book one at a time or in larger multiple lots. This method avoids the expenses of producing larger production runs and eliminates the investment and warehousing expense of multiple-lot book production. In essence, we print the book when it’s sold. The POD method provides considerable upfront investment savings to the author. DPZ can also produce larger production orders via our high speed web presses if necessary.

Fulfillment Direct: DPZ provides the ‘beginning-to-end’ handling of shipments and fulfillment of all orders directly to your customers.

Author Purchase of Books: 20 books will be provided to the author free of charge for personal distribution. Additional book purchases for your own distribution is available at 60% of the standard retail selling price plus any shipping costs. These author purchases are in 50-book allotments and may be purchased at any given time.

eBook creation: This package includes the creation of all formats for the eBook versions of your book. This includes versions that commonly run on iPads, iPhones, Android devices, Nooks, Kindle devices, tablets, computers, MacBooks, IBooks, etc. These formats become the property of the author or copyright holder at anniversary date of the ACPP contract.
