On-Demand Publishing, LLC, operating under the trade name CreateSpace, was a self-publishing platform owned by Amazon. Originally established as BookSurge in 2000 in South Carolina, it became part of Amazon through acquisition in 2005.
CreateSpace provided authors the capability to publish books without undergoing editorial screening. The titles were manufactured on demand, with printing occurring only after a customer placed an order via Amazon.
Throughout its operation spanning over eight years, CreateSpace facilitated the publication of more than 1.4 million titles for upwards of 15,000 authors. In July 2018, the company announced its integration into Amazon's Media on Demand service and subsequently consolidated with Amazon's Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) within the same year.
