OZ POD™ - Australian Print On Demand Publishing Packages

The all-inclusive OZ POD™ (short for Australian Print-On-Demand) Publishing Package options listed below will get your book into print or Kindle eBook format within weeks! All manuscripts will be screened prior to a publishing agreement being offered, and should be edited and complete when submitted. Equilibrium Books will include basic typographical corrections as part of our Kindle, Silver and Gold packages, however, any additional proofing and editing may incur additional costs.

Kindle eBook editions are now available as a separate package option, or as an add-on to our Silver and Gold print publishing packages, from only AUD$49.00. It is important to note that some layouts and special formatting are not supported by Kindle however.

If you are considering publishing with Equilibrium Books, please ensure you download our PDF Sample Agreements (requires Adobe Reader) and read the additional information detailed below.
