Print-on-demand planning
Understand the practical differences between KDP printing, print-on-demand book printers, author copies, and retail distribution.
Format and production decisions
Work through trim size, paper, cover dimensions, page count, ISBN usage, margins, bleed, and file readiness before you upload.
Printing plus distribution
Choose printing options that match how the book will be sold: Amazon, direct sales, bookstores, events, libraries, or wider channels.
Use a tool, book a consult, or buy the service.
Self-publishing decisions stack up fast. We keep the next action clear so authors can move from idea to files, channels, launch assets, and marketing work without rebuilding the plan every week.
Define the print edition
Decide format, trim, ISBN approach, channels, and whether Amazon-only or wider availability makes sense.
Prepare production assets
Check interior and cover requirements so the book is ready for paperback or hardcover printing.
Launch with clean expectations
Understand proofing, author copies, pricing, availability, and what print-on-demand can and cannot do.
Search intent mapped to real author work.
These pages are built around what authors are actually trying to accomplish, not just the keyword phrasing.
What our users say
"My developmental editor recommended BookMarketing.pro to produce my book, “Their Tails Kept Wagging.” It was excellent advice. Although experienced in writing for academic journals, this was my first foray into publishing a work for the public, and my first time self-publishing. Bo Bennett patiently walked me through the process. From copy editing, technical details, cover design, and troubleshooting issues, his assistance was timely and effective. I am a very satisfied customer and would recommend BookMarketing.pro for any author publishing their work."
"BookMarketing.pro has a lengthy list of services that authors can utilize to market their books. I recently used their Facebook Ads service, which is priced fairly and saved me potentially hours of frustration in dealing with Facebook’s ever-changing Ads Manager. Authors are supposed to write their books, but marketing those books, and all the crap that goes with it are work busters. BookMarketing.pro saved me writing time at a fair price when they ran the ads for my books. I recommend them. :)"
"It is with great pleasure I share my experience with Bookmarketing.pro so far. Their team has completed a video book summary that I must say, is jaw dropping and eye catching. Having never promoted my book, this is my first venture out to see what professionals could do to help my body of work more visible to leaders who are desperately seeking ways to engage their employees in this volatile transition the workplace is in. Retaining employees is critical and leading them to live their best lives both at home and work is now a necessary to to do so."

Quick answers before you choose a path.
Do you replace Amazon KDP printing?
No. We help authors prepare for and compare options like KDP printing and other print-on-demand paths. The right setup depends on the book and distribution goals.
Is print-on-demand better than offset printing?
For many self-published books, print-on-demand is simpler because books are printed as they sell. Offset can make sense for larger planned print runs, events, or direct inventory.
Can you help me choose trim size and print specs?
Yes. Consulting and service options can help you choose practical specs before committing to files, covers, ISBNs, or channels.
