Self-Publishing in the United States, 2013-2018 Print and Ebooks Self-Publishing in the United States, 2013-2018 Print and Ebooks Prepared by Bowker® Self-Publishing in the United States, 2013-2018 Print and Ebooks Table of Contents Overview 3 ISBN Output for USA Self-Publishers, 2013-2018 Total Print and Ebooks 4 Print Books 5 Ebooks 6 Author Solutions Output 7 Bowker Self-Publishing 8 Report Highlights 2013-2018 Copyright © 2019 Bowker® LLC All rights reserved. No part of this report may be reproduced or distributed in any manner whatsoever without the express permission of Bowker. Overview Bowker is pleased to present this latest edition of our report on self-publishing in the United States. Covering the years 2013 through 2018, the report documents the continued growth of this dynamic industry based on the number of ISBNs registered in the Bowker Books In Print® database. For 2018, the numbers demonstrate that the self-publishing industry continues its steady growth, with over 1.6 million titles published – a 40% increase over prior year. This growth trend has been ongoing since 2013, when the number of print books and ebooks with registered ISBNs stood at 461,438. This trend is likely to continue as the quality of many self-published works now rivals that of traditionally published titles. Authors now have access to a wide range of professional services, from editing to cover design, to help ensure that the highest standards are met. With these resources, coupled with the online marketing and distribution tools now available, self-publishing authors are positioned for success as never before. On the following pages are six charts. The first three are a breakdown of titles by publisher by year (Total Print and Ebook, Print only, Ebook only). The remaining charts provide a consolidated view of the output from the divisions of Author Solutions. As these totals represent registered ISBNs only, any titles published without an ISBN would be additional. Bowker publishes authoritative statistical reports for the publishing industry on a regular basis. As we plan for the release of the numbers for 2019 and beyond, we look forward to receiving your feedback, questions, and suggestions. If you have any questions or comments, please contact Alison Roth at [email protected] or (734)-707-2691.

  • How to Choose a Self-Publishing Service ALLI #1
    ALLi (The Alliance of Independent Authors) is the nonprofit professional association for authors who self-publish and want to do it well. Our motto is “Working together to help each other” How to Choose a Self-Publishing Service ALLI #1 As soon as an author starts to consider self-publishing, questions begin to arise. Some are fear-based questions like: What will others think? Will I have the same status as a “properly” published writer? These we can ignore, as we must ignore all self-doubt that interferes with creative output and flow. But valid, work- centered, creative questions also arise: “Do I have what it takes to go it alone and publish well?” “What services and supports do I need?” “What kind of provider is best for me as an author and the book I want to publish?” “How much will it cost me?” “How much can I make? Do I want to make a living at this?” “Who offers the best services for me and this particular project?” It’s not easy. An industry has sprung up We all need editors and good promotional around self-publishing and it’s growing at plans, at a minimum, if we are to do this great speed, with trade publishers who job well. Many others need assistance with traditionally invested in authors now design and production issues and publicity. getting charging for services. This is why author services are now in big demand. To become a self-publisher is to step from one work sector into another. Writing is When demand for any service is high, self-expression; publishing is business, for scammers and schemers circle.

  • The Four Paths to Publishing
    THE FOUR PATHS TO PUBLISHING Revolutionary changes and unprecedented opportunities in publishing have established four clear paths that authors follow to achieve their publishing goals. by Keith Ogorek Senior Vice President of Marketing and Product Development Author Solutions, Inc. The past four years have brought about more upheaval in the publishing industry than the previous 400 years combined. From the time Gutenberg invented the printing press until the introduction of the paperback about 70 years ago, there weren’t many groundbreaking innovations. However, in the last few years, the publishing world has undergone an indie revolution similar to what occurred in the film and music industries. With the introduction of desktop publishing, print-on-demand technology, and the Internet as a direct-to-consumer distribution channel, publishing became a service consumers could purchase, instead of an industry solely dependent on middlemen (agents) and buyers (traditional publishers). In addition, the exponential growth of e-books and digital readers has accelerated change, because physical stores are no longer the only way for authors to connect with readers. While these changes have made now the best time in history to be an author, they have also made it one of the most confusing times to be an author. Not that long ago, there was only one way to get published: find an agent; hope he or she would represent you; pray they sell your book proposal to a publisher; trust the publisher to get behind the book and believe in the project; and hope that readers would go to their local bookstore and buy your book.
