FAQ
 
What does your name mean?
Something that is worn from frequent use—and something that often indicates a reader's FAVORITE portion of a book is called "dog eared". We want to be that "favorite" spot for authors on the internet.

How much experience do you have?
Dog Ear Publishing was "born" by 3 guys who all have a long history in the "traditional" publishing and printing businesses. We come specifically from the Acquisitions (the Editors who sign books at traditional publishing houses), Production (the guys who build the books for traditional publishers), Marketing (um - self explanatory, right?), and Printing industries. Our company has built (and still builds) books for some of the largest book publishers in the world - across all sorts of topics: Trade Fiction books, Textbooks, Computer Manuals, Biographies, childrens' books - even books on Self-Publishing! We've also built books for some of the SMALLEST publishers. But they all come to us for one reason—we care about our customers.

Where are you located?
We are located in the heart of the Midwest - in Indiana at 4010 West 86th Street, Indianapolis, IN 46268. Our toll free number is 1-866-823-9613.

May I come to visit?
Of course. We welcome visits from potential authors and anyone interested in our company. Please call to arrange a personal tour.

Is Dog Ear Publishing a publisher?
Sort of... Our primary business is to enable YOU to be a publisher—but we offer ALL of the services provided by a traditional publishing house. You choose what services you want. See our Services page for details. We don't discriminate about what to publish based upon our "opinions"—every author has the right to express themselves in print!

Are you a "vanity publisher"?
Absolutely not! Vanity publishers charge thousands of dollars to print box loads of books - and their services most often stop there. Dog Ear Publishing wants to help you realize the dream of publishing your book - and will support you from starting writing to marketing your printed book. We don't even require you to purchase any printed books. Dog Ear Publishing uses the latest cutting edge technology to keep costs down. Vanity publishers provide a one-time service.

What Dog Ear Publishing does that a vanity publisher does not:

- support your efforts throughout the writing process
- provided nearly unlimited publishing options
- process and fulfill book orders
- partner with you on marketing and promotional programs
- "single copy" availability for your books—print ONLY as many as you need
- personal, enthusiastic, and professional support

What is on-demand publishing?
"On-demand" means exactly what it implies: your books are created as you need them. We can create books in as little quantities as one, and as quickly as 48 hours. Technology has enables us hold your book in electronic form, without the need for a warehouse and lots of inventory. This removes the two greatest costs in publishing, allowing you to concentrate more fully on creating EXACTLY the book you want.
