PRINT ON DEMAND (POD)

Customize your Print on Demand Program to include only the services you need. In this way, we can tailor our POD Program to fit any budget. Please note that editing is 2 cent per word and not included in any package. However, the Upgraded and Premium packages do include a discount on editing prices, among other things.

Our Entry Program is made for the author who already has a finished book but would like to republish through Christian Living Books. It does not include editing or distribution options.

The Basic Program is for authors who would like publishing services but not need distribution. These authors will have a book in hand and the ability to order additional books. Distribution can be added in the future.

Our Standard Program includes all the services you would need to have an excellent book that is available to at least 30,000 retailers worldwide.

Full-service Upgraded and Premium Programs provide higher royalties, more features, and increasing discounts to great services. Many services are included in the program, such as bookstore promotion and copyright registration.
