Print on Demand: Color
Full-color books are again available from Virtualbookworm.com! That's right, authors of children's books, picture books and graphic novels can now take advantage of Print-on-Demand technology!
We can now produce full-color books at either 4X6", 5.25X8" or 8.25X10.75". The entire book does needs to be produced using this process, so unfortunately we're not able to insert these pages into the traditional POD packages.
Included in all Color Packages
- Softcover only
- Electronic proof
- ISBN assignment
- Copyright application kit
- Book page on our website
- Barcode
- Data Backup
- Distribution through Bowker's Books in Print and Global Books in Print
- Drop Shipment
- Book registration through Amazon.com and Half.com
- 50% royalties of net receipts (Approximately 25% of cover price on books sold through us!)
- Quarterly Sales Report
- Author may purchase his/her book for at least 30% off list (discount increases with large orders)
Due to the nature of these books, author must provide illustrations at 300-600dpi in TIFF or PICT format. We will do text layout, but illustration is not included. All covers will include a graphic you provide or one of the illustrations from the book.
Add-on Specials:
- Add our ebook package to any level below for only $65 additional!
- Extra Warehousing: $100. Since we are a Print-on-Demand publisher, we keep only a limited supply of books on hand to reduce inventory costs and keep your prices low. This sometimes causes delays if a book sells a number of copies at once. This package will cover our warehousing costs and keep a minimum of 7-10 copies of your book in stock at all times.
