Does Print-on-Demand mean the book is self-published?
No. Print-on-Demand is a method of producing books. It does not, by itself, determine whether a book is traditionally published, independently published, or self-published.
Books published by Ilish Books go through an editorial and production process. Depending on the project, this may include manuscript development, editing, proofreading, design, image preparation, typesetting, cover design, printing, and promotional planning.
Submit Your Work
We welcome unpublished manuscripts in nonfiction, essays, field narratives, translations, and literary works that align with our editorial vision. We are particularly interested in works rooted in observation, place, memory, movement, culture, and lived experience — books that may not always fit conventional publishing models, yet deserve to exist in print with care and permanence.
