CreateSpace Independent Publishing

CreateSpace publishes books containing any content at all, other than just placeholder text.^[6] It neither edits nor verifies. Books are printed on demand, meaning each volume is produced in response to an actual purchase on Amazon.^[7] CreateSpace continued its publishing services for 8 years until its transfer to Amazon's Media on Demand. By 2018, it has published 1,416,384 books for over 15,000 authors.^[8] In July 2018, CreateSpace announced it would be transferring media to Amazon's Media on Demand services in the following months.^[9] CreateSpace merged with Amazon's Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) service later that year.^[10][11]
