The following is a list of notable self-publishing companies, which provide assistance in self-publishing books, provide print on demand services as publishers or operate as vanity presses. Self-publishing and vanity publishing are not necessarily the same business model. A self-published author employs a printer (publishing) to operate a press, but retains ownership of copyrights, ISBN's, the finished books and their distribution. A vanity press or subsidy publisher retains some of the rights, usually including ownership of the print run and control over distribution, while the author bears much or all of the financial risk. Both models share a common characteristic of shifting risk and primary editorial control to the author; both encounter the same issues of lax editorial control. This differs from the conventional model (royalty publishing) in which a publisher pays an author an advance to create content, then assumes full control of the project and any commercial risk if a tome sells poorly. Also excluded is sponsored publishing, where a company pays an author to write a book on its behalf (for instance, a food manufacturer marketing a cookbook written by outsiders or a hobby materials supplier publishing a book of blueprints). This list includes only some publishers; it is not a complete list of all existing self publishers or vanity publishers. * American Biographical Institute * AuthorHouse * BiblioBazaar〔 * Blurb, Inc. *Bob Books * Books LLC * CafePress〔 * CreateSpace〔 * DiggyPOD * Famous Poets Society * Greyden Press * iUniverse * Kobo Writing Life * Lightning Source * Llumina Press * Lulu * Notion Press * Outskirts Press * Poetry.com, also known as: * *International Library of Poetry * *International Poetry Hall of Fame * *International Society of Poets * *Noble House Publishing * *Publish Today * PublishAmerica, also known as: * *PublishAtlantica * *PublishBritannica (not to be confused with the encyclopedia company) * *PublishIcelandica * Self Publish, Be Happy * Smashwords * Tate Publishing & Enterprises * Trafford Publishing * Vantage Press * Wattpad * Xlibris * Xulon Press ==See also== * Author mill * Print on demand 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「List of self-publishing companies」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
