Book Production Services

The major self-publishing companies all use their own Print-on-Demand equipment to produce books for their clients. Most charge set-up fees and very high unit costs for books. Depending on your publishing goals, this may or may not be the best option for your project.

City Desk provides manufacturing estimates from a variety of sources employing both the latest On-Demand technology as well as conventional web presses. Just because you decide to self publish your book doesn't mean you have to be locked into a limited range of trim sizes and quantities. In some cases, City Desk has been able to save authors more than 200% on short run (fewer than 500 copies) and thousands of dollars by arranging for web press printing for longer runs when the job calls for it.

A major key to successful publishing is producing the right product with the right technology. Your book is unique and may not fit neatly into deals or templates offered by the major self-publishing companies. These companies each have their own approach to self-publishing. Authors need to be savvy about choosing the self-publishing program that suits their needs. Call City Desk for a free consultation before you pick a self-publishing program.
