Print-On-Demand Service Now Available in India

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) October 28, 2007 -- Goa, India (October 26, 2007): CinnamonTeal Print & Publishing Services have launched India’s first Print-On-Demand (POD) Service. This service allows authors to publish their books, one copy at a time thus eliminating the need for upfront publishing costs and for maintaining a large inventory of books. POD is essentially a service for authors whose books target niche audiences and hence must be published in small quantities. Such books may range from a compilation of your mother’s recipes to your research reports to corporate manuals.

Publishing now becomes unbelievably simple. Authors may submit a completed manuscript by emailing CinnamonTeal a copy or sending one to their postal address (for details contact their website http://cinnamonteal.dogearsetc.com ). Pre-publishing services such as copyediting and proofreading are also provided for a fee. Upon submission of the completed manuscript, the book is immediately available listed for sale on Dogears Etc. (http://www.dogearsetc.com), an online bookstore. Authors can dictate the price of the book depending on the amount they wish to earn per book. Once an order is placed for a book, the book is printed and bound and dispatched to the customer. Further, authors have absolute control over the contents of the book and retain the rights to the book.

Queenie Fernandes and Leonard Fernandes, the directors of this website are very enthusiastic about the new service. They feel that the cultural and linguistic disparity that is unique in India lends itself to the need for books that cater to very small, niche audiences. In the traditional publishing industry, many authors are rejected because publishers feel that the manuscripts will not sell in requisite volumes and those that do get selected have to make do with small percentages of the selling price as revenues. CinnamonTeal will plug this gap by offering authors the opportunity to have their books published on the authors’ own terms. CinnamonTeal can also serve traditional publishers as these publishers seek to keep their backlists in print.
