This is a form of publishing your own works for low cost. It’s something even the greats have done. William Blake, Leo Tolstoy, Virginia Woolf, E.E. Cummings and Lord Byron amongst others wouldn’t hold it against you.

Print a small number of copies of your work and sell them at fairs or to libraries, or you can promote them on the site! We can also distribute them for you for a small fee.
