Our Daily Bread, Ministries Publishing Services
From Vision to Completion (Step by Step Information)
Many Doctoral dissertations and Masters theses are valuable and interesting sources of knowledge, but too often are rarely read. One reason why people do not get published is because they do not turn the work into a book suitable for publication. Many times people do not understand the steps of what it takes to get] published. The other main reason is the author does not know how to apply for a ISBN number found on the verso of every book. This becomes a key to commercial book distribution. Without an ISBN number, most bookstores do not have access to it. Remarkably, most graduate works are never assigned this important identification number. As a result, they are completely isolated from mainstream commercial distribution channels, and seldom become easily accessible to many people. Consequently, few may ever have an opportunity to read your work.

Questions,
comments and suggestions about our website? |
Paperback editions are printed on-demand in any quantity and available
through booksellers worldwide. The layout of paperback edition is similar to the
version that is offered electronically, and may be bound in many ways depending
on the type of publication. The paperback version includes all the features of
e-book publication, but obviously increases the cost of the publication. We
suggest starting with the e-book format to make sure the number of orders will
warrant and help offset the additional charges. Typically to keep the cost of
production down, the initial minimum run should be 50,000 copies and should be
sold in less than one year.
