Private distribution
When you sign up, you may choose not to list your book on BookSurge for sale to the public. You can order as few or as many copies as you need at your wholesale price through your personal BookSurge author panel. Resell them, package them with other materials, distribute them to employees or organization members, or just give them as gifts — it’s up to you.
Print-on-demand is the perfect solution for many kinds of small print runs — family histories, fundraiser premiums, membership directories, corporate documents, confidential or proprietary materials, reunion memory books, software manuals — any type of book where you want to keep control of how many are printed and where they are circulated.
