self publishing vs. subsidy

Self publishing is for those who have a limited or built-in target audience. If you are planning a book for family and friends or a specialized subject to be sold at events, this is the choice for you. Generally, a self published book will have a small print run of 50-500 books.

A subsidy book is produced in the same professional manner as a self published book, but it is for those individuals ready to test the national or international market. This program includes a marketing program designed to make your title known to major distributors, booksellers, and Internet bookstores. The minimum print run for a subsidy book is 1,000 copies.
