On-Demand Publishing, LLC, doing business as CreateSpace, is a self-publishing service owned by Amazon.[2][3] The company was founded in 2000 in South Carolina as BookSurge and was acquired by Amazon in 2005.[4]

CreateSpace publishes books containing any content at all other than just placeholder text.[5] It neither edits nor verifies. Books are printed on demand, meaning each volume is produced in response to an actual purchase on amazon.com.[6]

In July 2018, Createspace announced it would be transferring media to Amazon's Media on Demand services in the following months.[7] In August, it was revealed that Createspace would merge with Amazon's KDP service.[8]
