Print on Demand Publishers: Author Contrasts Experiences with Print on Demand Publishers Versus Traditional Book Publishers.Publishing From a World of Madness to a World of Sanity: Guides for Action with print on demand publishers (for short, called P.O.D.), Trafford of Victoria, BC, Canada was my first ebook experience. And, what a great experience it was. Trafford was superb to deal with. I hadconsiderable experience with traditional book publishers and the contrasts were dramatic: a. The percent of sales I received as an author exceeded traditional publishing by a factor of eight times. b.The turn around time from submission of book to ready to sell--a few weeks versus several months. c. How I was treated--promptly and courteously by Trafford (a P.O.D. company); like I had bubonic plague by my editor at the traditional book publishing house. d. Trafford never claimed they had a major marketing program; the traditional book publisher led me to believe they would promote my books. Not true. They only promote those books that show early sales activity above theaverage--good for business, bad for new authors. e. With P.O.D., I retained full ownership of my book vs. ownership of the book goes to traditional publishers. This is a big difference; it means you retain control of your work. I will never go back to a traditional book publisher unless I'm offered the sky and a piece of the earth.
