.Q. What is the difference between AuthorHouse and vanity or subsidy presses? .....

A. Vanity and subsidy presses will charge you thousands of dollars to print a garage full of books they will not help you sell. AuthorHouse technology enables you to publish with low initial investment and print only as many books as you need, one at a time. Unlike vanity and subsidy presses, we also provide pre-publishing and marketing services to ensure your book's success
