Print on Demand (POD) is a type of book printing that many have
heard about, but with all the myths and Internet vanity presses
vying for your dollars, how do you know if you're making the right
choice? The right choice can put money in the bank while the
wrong one will leave you with a gaping hole in your pocket.
Jamie Saloff, of Saloff Enterprises, has been
helping professionals such as yourself for nearly a decade. She
can show you how to avoid the vanity presses and how to keep more
profit for yourself—all while you gain global distribution
and without stockpiling books in your garage. In fact, you never
have to ship a book yourself, ever, unless you want to. Your book
will automatically appear for sale on Amazon.com and other online
bookselling sites, as well as being available for order from all
the major book store chains.
You have never done this before, so, of course,
you have a lot of questions. We expect you to ask them and will
do our best to answer them— honestly, putting the information
in your hands you need to succeed. Read through the testimonials.
You'll see that our work doesn't end with putting your book
into the proper format for POD. We will guide you through all the
necessary steps to become a small independent publisher and published
author.
After
publication, Saloff Enterprises offers continued support through
Jamie's tips newsletter and other client promotions. Client's rave
over these newsletters and many print them out and save them in
a notebook for future use.
Since Jamie is also a POD publisher
and author, she knows the intricacies of the writing process. She
has been a long time member, former board member, and Meritoious
Service winner, of Pennwriters, a Pennsylvania-based writer's organization.
As a former web designer, Jamie understands how to navigate the
Internet, and as a Dale Carnegie graduate, she knows how to treat
people right. If you're looking for quality and integrity, you've
come to the right place.

| She's my hero! |
Jamie
not only has the creativity of a writer,
but also the analytical skills of a scientist. She literally
walked me through every step of publication with amazing
attention to detail and no trace of frustration from my
multiple daily phone calls and emails. I do not believe
I could have completed the process of self-publication
without her. . She is my hero." Learn

Jamie
always goes the extra mile, exceeded only by her never-ending

should be formatted; however, with Jamie's creative suggestions,
it turned out infinitely better than I envisioned. It

"Jamie's kindness, wonderful intelligence, and for many of us, her patience, sets her apart as someone who is a pleasure to work with. She is willing to answer the seemingly most trivial questions and never makes you feel you should already 'know' the answers. Her guid-ance comes from much experience in her areas of expertise. If anyone asks me where to start the self-publishing process, my answer would be simple: Contact Jamie Saloff!" Look Inside... |

Any
question I asked was a greeted with patience and careful
explanation. When I didn't know enough to ask a question,
Jamie coached me and offered her sage advice. When
I decided to NOT take her advice and go a different direction,
she got on board with my vision and helped me make my path
work. Jamie has made the publication of my first
book easy, fun and efficient. Learn More...

| Jamie Anticipated My Emotions
. . . |
Jamie
didn't just go the extra mile; she walked it with me.
If I had doubts, she assuaged them. If I didn't know,
she explained. She was my lamaze partner
in birthing my baby.
She anticipated and understood my emotions
in publishing my book. She took
my life and turned it into a piece of art. I highly
recommend Jamie because of her ability to use her sensitivity
to help an author expose their art and heart.
