Title
Trafford Publishing opened its doors and website and accepted its first paying clients - becoming the first company in the world to offer an "on-demand publishing service". People thought we were nuts: Print-on-Demand was an industry term for printing short runs of 300 to 500 books and no one, not even the equipment manufacturers, thought anyone could viably operate a service printing runs of one copy. We proposed to sell the books on the Internet, accepting payment with credit cards, and programmed an elaborate website that would display the books and even take orders. There were very few e-commerce sites at the time, and book industry people quickly dismissed the idea that anyone would ever use the Internet to look for books and scoffed at the idea that people would use credit cards for Internet payments.
Description
Since its inception in 1995, Trafford Publishing lead the independent publishing revolution. We publish more than two percent of all new titles released in North America. Now there are a dozen or so companies offering variations on our original innovative service - yet we believe ours is still the best suited for most authors' needs. The enhancements and improvements in our service have been based on the suggestions of over 10,000 very creative people (our authors) from more than 120 countries.

Additional Information
The Evolution of Publishing: In the past, determined authors had only two options: do-it-yourself and vanity presses. Both options were laborious, time-consuming, and expensive. Fortunately, innovative thinking and use of modern technology has enabled Trafford to provide authors with a simple, time-effective, and reasonable alternative for self-publishing. The process is environmentally friendly and drastically reduces costs by eliminating expenses for unnecessary books.
A Stepping-Stone To Success: Self-publishing enables writers to proceed with their careers. Instead of fixating on whether or not they will be published, authors are free to proceed to the next step: marketing and generating sales. A successful self-published author is a much more attractive prospect to trade publishers. On-demand publishing is a useful tool, enabling authors to prove their marketing potential.
