The Way to Print Short Run Books

If you have just finished a manuscript, you want to make sure that you can get your words into public. For those who are just starting in the book publishing industry, nothing allows you to do this better than printing short run books. Moving through the process of this printing concept will allow you to make the sales and profit with every single word that is printed out.

Put your manuscript together. If you are publishing yourself, you will want to make sure that your manuscript is complete and in order. This includes all of the formatting, the graphics at the beginning and even the back synopsis combined with your biography. Getting together the right look will allow you to take advantage of the printing that you are going to do.


Find the right printing press. Most self published authors will use a self – publishing press or an independent publishing company in order to get the short run books press together. You can easily find a self publishing affiliation through a little research, which will allow you to get your book completely together for your own sales.

Do the math. After you know where you are going, you will want to make sure you have the right goals for your publishing. A short run means that you will have between 5 and 50,000 books to print. You can figure out how many to start with by looking into your marketing plan and finding out how many you can sell from this. For instance, if you have a book signing, are going to be in a book store or have other options, count these in with estimated sales in order to make sure that you have enough books to sell from the short run print.

Set up the right agreements. Even though self – publishing companies and smaller printing areas will be focused on printing your books, you want to make sure that everything goes through correctly. This includes options with the look of the book, the number to be made, continuous agreements and potential changes with the book that can be made. You can also look into their marketing programs to make sure that your words get out there.
