		Traditional publishers typically only have a budget to significantly promote a small portion of their titles and as a result, many titles sit on bookstore shelves, un-promoted.
		A blend of the best of traditional publishing and the autonomy of conventional do-it-yourself publishing, today’s new self-publishing houses give authors the advantage of years of experience in the industry, without controlling their manuscripts or limiting their options.
		Printing technology known as print-on-demand (POD) enables publishers like AuthorHouse to print both paperback and hardcover books “on-demand.” Simply put, POD turns the traditional economics of the publishing industry upside down by allowing books to be produced in small quantities – even one at a time – almost instantly.
