[[File:Prologue to The Defense of Duffer's Drift.jpg|thumb|This is a prologue to a rather old novel, The Defense of Duffer's Drift. This novel in summary, is about a young officer in the military learning to defend. The purpose of this prologue is to serve as a background summary to the story. <ref>“The Defence of Duffer’s Drift.” ''Wikipedia'', Wikimedia Foundation, 21 Nov. 2025, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Defence_of_Duffer’s_Drift. </ref>]]

=== Definition ===
A prologue in a publishing sense, is an introductory section that comes before the actual written story or book. It precedes the main story; the prologue typically provides background context for the main plot and establishes the overall tone. The purpose of prologues is varied it can be made to create suspense, provide a different point of view, or to give a backstory or context. It provides a promise to the reader of what to expect in the following pages. Whether that's a direct statement, or an indirect and relative story of script of information similar to the text. It is essentially 'the story before the story'.

=== Prologue Placement ===
Although prologues are typically placed at the very beginning of a book, before the story is told, they can be important in other sections as well. They are typically placed before chapter one; however, if a story has more than one part, there may be a second prologue in the middle of the story, or before the extension of the story is to occur. This may create a distinction and help guide the reader through the plot line as it hints a new section is occurring.

=== Prologues That Work and Why ===
Jane Friedman is a publishing industry expert, author, and educator, with over twenty years of experience. She owns a blog in which she published a piece called "Prologues That Work and Why" by author Maryka Biaggio. In this piece she explains how many industry professionals caution against using prologues, but if it is done right, it may only add to the novel, and not take away from it. Prologues that work as a catalyst serve to reveal an event that may have happened before the timeline of the story, making it necessary to have added before the beginning of the novel. Prologues that work to give background knowledge may be the hardest to be done correctly; rather than providing lengths of information that may not interest the reader, these must provide only added knowledge that is relevant to the story, and can be used to help follow the plot line. Prologues that introduce a character are very common, and may be helpful for novels that are written in a first-person perspective.

== Definition ==
POD for short, better known as ''Print on Demand'', is a type of service that benefits the author's profit by printing books as they are ordered. Print editions make up a larger portion of book sales and typically bring in more revenue than E-books. Especially for the self-publishing process, ''Print on Demand'' is a strategy that helps authors, more importantly, independent authors to help profit off their pieces of work. Mainly independent authors and publishers will use this technique. <ref name=":0">[1] ''DIY: Print-on-demand 101''. PublishersWeekly.com. (2016, September 30). <nowiki>https://www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/authors/pw-select/article/62930-diy-print-on-demand-101.html</nowiki> </ref>

=== Benefits of POD ===
[[File:A Print on Demand Book.jpg|thumb|This is a Print on Demand book by Carolyn Hart that is only accessible on demand. In order to obtain this mystery novel you must submit a request for the book, then it is printed and shipped to you. Carolyn Hart is one of many authors who publishes books only on demand. <ref>[2] ''Borrow.Nypl.Org'', borrow.nypl.org/search/card?id=40195171-8404-51f3-b5d6-ce66837ca424&entityType=FormatGroup. Accessed 25 Mar. 2026. </ref>]]
The benefits of ''Print on Demand'' are widespread amongst many areas of the publishing industry. When it comes to financial states, authors benefit themselves and the economy by producing books that people are definitive in buying. Along with this benefit, is the cost of the environment. By printing on demand, we are using less paper rather than for the mass-production of books that are unsought and sitting on shelves untouched.<ref name=":1">[3] Division, Water Resources. “USGS Map-on-Demand Printing.” ''Fact Sheet'', 1 Apr. 2001, pubs.usgs.gov/publication/fs07499. </ref>

=== Digital Mapping and its Effect on Print ===
Map on Demand, also short for MOD is a process that uses digital mapping in order to ''Print on Demand''. MOD printing is a digital technology that produces paper maps only when they are ordered. This is the process and the machine behind ''Print on Demand''. It uses high-speed, large-format plotters and digital data to instantly produce customized, high-quality maps on demand, enabling tailored coverage areas and the most up-to-date information. This kind of technology calls for a massive amount of storage, which holds up to multiple databases that collect the works of multiple independent publishers.<ref name=":1" />

The imprint is a particular brand of given trade name that is relatively smaller than its owner, which is a larger press and of that, a larger publishing company. An imprint stands alone as its own division of an organization much bigger than itself. Most people come across smaller imprints when reading books that are well known stories, but are refurbished and published again. All Imprints are in some way connected to one of the "big five" publishing houses that are the most well-known and that bring in the most profit. Most imprints occur when a publisher gains ownership or chooses to merge with another publisher; this is a way that a publisher and its own company or press can keep their name but stand alone with their own identity. They operate as an imprint, a subsidized group of a larger company.

[[File:Zine Cover.jpg|thumb|This cover of a zine artistically expresses how many chose to express their political beliefs through this kind of written work. The edgy aura of the zine is seen throughout this piece.]]A Zine, short for "fanzine", is a miniature version of a magazine that allows for a message to be spread or a voice to be expressed through this published piece. While most zines are self-published, they are usually seen as more of a piece of self-expression rather than a professional and empirical piece to be reflected upon.

Zines are more than just a written art form, they are a way of communicating to the audience without being direct. For some, zines are a way of standing out against injustice. For others, they are a way to send a message or tell a short story. Zines are a smaller produced product. Yet, there is a way you can make a living or a business from them. The zine is a shorter way of conveying a more powerful message; and the length of the zine is what gives the message more meaning.

Zines have roots that date back to the 1930s, making it easier for the trend of zines to rise in the 70s to early 90's. With photocopier's emerging in the 60's, it was easier for zine makers to create a business out of their work. Zines typically are known for their edgy look and tone. However, zines can look like anything with a theme that just might apply to about anyone.
