Self Publishing with Amazon.com

BookSurge is a subsiduary of Amazon. They offer a complete publishing and printing services for authors and customized printing and fulfillment services for publishers.

For authors this potentially leaves out the need for a publisher at all. Amazon will take care of the editing and marketing, printing and distribution. If the book needs illustration then that can be organised as well.

This ain’t for free! As an example, a children’s title will cost around $6,500 whereas a biography (your life story!) could cost only $3,800. More details about the costs can be found here.

BookSurge is promoted on the Amazon.com web site.
