- There are no upfront payments and you can order copies of your book at list price.
- There are no print costs because the book is printed on demand (POD) – so you pay about £5-6 per copy and you don’t have to order multiple copies and keep them in the garage.
- You get paid a royalty directly into your bank account for every paperback and e-book sold.
- You can market your book however you wish.
