The POD Print Cover Template Generator simplifies the creation of print-on-demand covers.

Once the cover and interior formatting are complete, users can upload these files on PublishDrive for distribution, enabling global availability of print-on-demand paperbacks to readers and libraries.
Let's ChatWith POD books, you don’t have to wonder where to print a book. You can use the on-demand book printing to simplify the process and cut costs. The costs depend on the length of your book. Retailers have a minimum price to cover the costs of printing your book and the fees for selling it. Your profit margins are affected by how long your book is and its color type. When your book is sold through a retailer, you only need to cover the printing costs and the portion the retailer takes from the sale; there are no additional shipping costs for authors or publishers. If you want copies of your book for things like sending them out for reviews or fulfilling orders directly from your readers, you can order author copies. But in this case, you'll have to handle the shipping and taxation costs yourself.

You keep 100% of your copyright, and you own your book and all associated rights entirely – that’s what separates our service apart from others. The sales and distribution accounts are set up in your name.
There are no hidden costs. All prices are quoted at the start of the publishing process.
You have complete control over setting the retail price of your book, so you are free to charge as little or as much as you like. We guide you on this aspect as part of our publishing service.
The average turnaround time is 4 to 8 weeks, but this is not guaranteed in all cases. Generally, the quicker you are in sharing your feedback and approval of our work, the quicker we can get your book published.
We use PDF proof copies of the book as they are faster and more cost-effective.
You can order as many copies of your book as you like, but they are charged at cost price. This means you are just charged purely for the printing and shipment cost of the books you order.
This is handled through the Print on Demand facility of the publishing platforms where we publish your book. For example, if someone orders a book on Amazon, Amazon’s Print-on-Demand facility prints and distributes the book to the customer and you are paid your royalty.
