Self-publishing is the publication of a book (or any other media, but we’ll concentrate on books in this blog) by the author without using a traditional publishing company. It’s also known as print on demand, because typically a self-publishing company doesn’t print large numbers of books to be warehoused but prints them as they are ordered.
