Bowker Reports "Staggering Growth" in On-Demand Publishing Amid Flat Growth in Traditional Publishing Industry

Bloomington, Ind. (PRWEB) June 5, 2008 -- On-demand and short-run books experienced a "stunning five-fold increase" in the number of titles published in 2007, according to Bowker, the global leader in bibliographic management. The expansion in self-published and other unclassified titles came amid "basically flat" growth in the traditional publishing sector.

"Bowker's report clearly illustrates a changing tide in the book publishing industry. Authors are increasingly turning to self-publishing because of the flexibility and limitless options it presents," said Kevin Weiss, president and chief executive officer of Author Solutions (http://authorsolutions.com/). "Self-publishing (http://authorsolutions.com/author-services/index.asp)allows readers and the marketplace, not just a select group of editors, to determine which books are worthy of market success."

While traditional publishers have seen numbers stagnate or fall, Author Solutions' self-publishing imprints, AuthorHouse (http://www.authorhouse.com), iUniverse (http://www.iuniverse.com), and Wordclay (http://www.wordclay.com), have continued to put an increasing number of titles into distribution. In 2008, ASI self-publishing brands project to publish nearly 17,000 new titles, or about one out of every eight titles in the on-demand and unclassified category.

"If an author needs it, Author Solutions can provide it. We are the world leader in the fastest-growing segment of publishing, and we are dropping the barriers between authors and readers. We make it possible for anyone, anywhere, at anytime to put their book into print and get it into the marketplace," Weiss said.
