POD stands for Print-on-Demand — a publishing and printing method where books are printed only when an order is placed, instead of producing large quantities in advance.
For writers, Print-on-Demand (POD) allows books to be published without needing large upfront printing costs or warehousing. It keeps books available longer, even for niche subjects or smaller audiences.
For publishers, POD reduces financial risk by avoiding unsold inventory, storage costs, and large initial print runs. It also makes it possible to publish specialized, experimental, or limited-market books that traditional mass printing often cannot support.
