What Do We Do?

      Instantpublisher is the book publisher division of Fundcraft Publishing Company, the world's largest personalized cookbook publisher. Fundcraft started as a small publishing house in eastern Kansas in the early 30's specializing in short-run custom cookbooks for groups and organizations across the country. Today, Fundcraft ships millions of personalized cookbooks each year to every state.

      The success of Instantpublisher.com book publisher division is directly related to the ease of the unique custom printing software that will let an author create and design their book, view their book on the web exactly as submitted, select self publishing options and publish a book using the talents and ultra modern equipment of a professional book publishing company - all from the ease of a home or office computer.

      Short-run book publishing is usually 200 to 5000 books however, now for the first time in book publishing history from a professional publishing company, the minimum is just 25 books. Authors can receive a small number of quality produced books to send to bookstores or large publishing houses directly from a professional book publisher. Instantpublisher.com's book sizes and styles conform to the book publishing industry standards with high quality paper and materials with various binding options.

      The success of Instantpublisher.com is directly related to the success of our customers whose books we produce. Most of these customers come from a desktop publishing or short run background. A large percentage of our business comes from repeat customers and referrals. Instantpublisher.com has printed thousands of titles, including fiction, poetry, how-to books, local histories, children's books, religious books, technical books, as well as books and manuals for companies, schools and organizations.

      Self-publishing has become one of the fastest growing segments of the publishing industry. The best authors may not initially be published by a large publishing house but after the book is printed and distributed in published form by a professional book publisher, unknown authors enter into large publishing contracts. Unless an author is nationally known or has a manuscript with almost certain sales potential and definite outlet, a publishing house may hesitate to publish a book title.

      Now, any person who writes a book can design the cover and text pages in any Microsoft Windows or Mac based program and with the use of the free software, talents and equipment of Instantpublisher.com can be used to test the book's sales potential by self publishing in small quantities.
