Mr. Gutenberg would be proud.
It's been more than 500 years since publishing has gone through a transformation like we are seeing right now. Then, Johannes Gutenberg introduced his printing press and gave birth to the publishing industry.
Today, Author Solutions is helping spur the next great expansion of publishing by introducing new technologies and services to help more authors than ever before to achieve their personal publishing goals.
Through our Author Services brands, we've become the leader in self-publishing, the fastest-growing segment in number of titles published over the past five years. Now we are taking that experience of working with 50,000 authors and 80,000 titles and developing Publishing Services platforms that enable publishers, retailers, communities, and printers to become a publisher for the first time or dramatically take costs out of the business.
That means more authors, publishers, and organizations can generate revenue by publishing books than ever before.
