Venice, FL -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/08/2006 -- In recent years numerous POD publishers have come into being offering services to new authors. 21st Century Research compiles a directory of over 70 POD services mostly in USA but also in Australia, Canada, Germany, Ireland, Israel, Mexico, England, Scotland and Wales.

Entries in the directory include full addresses, telephones, faxes and web sites. It also provides information about contracts, distribution, royalties, prices and other submission details specific to each service.

Authors can use this resource to compare and select one or more POD services. They can choose non-exclusive contracts, keep all TV, film and audio rights, and negotiate royalty and price levels. Unpublished authors can forget the agents and once published their book will never be out of print as long as it remains in a POD database.

The directory is available at a price of $ 10.00($13.00 outside USA) with free handling and shipping by first class mail. Checks or money orders should be made payable to:
