New Shipping Options Now Available for D2D Print Proofs
At D2D, they believe in continual improvement driven by the input of our authors.
From this point forward, they offer a range of shipping options, some of which are notably more affordable than our former expedited service. Whether you’re in need of a physical proof right away or have a more flexible timeline, they’ve got you covered. Of course, if you prefer digital, their digital proofs remain available at no cost.
What is a Proof Copy?
If you’re new to hardcopy versions of your book, a proof copy serves as an initial print of your work, allowing you to scrutinize it thoroughly before it heads to the presses. Conversely, an author copy is the completed version which can be used for promotional purposes.
How does D2D Print Work?
When you request a proof copy or an author copy from D2D Print, the process remains simple: You pay for the manufacturing (at the book’s cost) plus the shipping method you selected. While you can only order one proof copy at a time, author copies can be ordered in exponential quantities. And there are no pesky watermarks accompany our proofs.
Why Consider Print?
Notwithstanding our shifting digital times, many readers still favor physical copies. An insightful 2022 Pew Research report shared that of 75% of respondents who read a book in the prior year, just 13.8% embraced digital editions exclusively, versus 49% who only read print books.
In fact, digital-only publishers are potentially excluding 86% of their possible readership.
