On-Demand Publishing, LLC, doing business as CreateSpace, was a self-publishing service owned by Amazon.

[3][4] The company was founded in 2000 in South Carolina as BookSurge and was acquired by Amazon in 2005.

Books were printed on demand, meaning each volume was 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.

[9] CreateSpace merged with Amazon's Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) service later that year.
