Growth in Titles and Self Publishing

The number of book titles being published is exploding. While conventional titles have seen slight growth, non-traditional self-published titles more than doubled in the last year and now represent nearly 10 times the number of traditional titles. Perhaps you even know someone who has self-published their own book. These days, almost anyone can write a book and publish it themselves.This trend makes the task of managing titles more complex for publishers. It is also driving new marketing techniques, as well as growth in both e-Book and digitally printed books.
With the right solutions the explosion of titles can translate into opportunities for you. Our highly efficient, intelligent book manufacturing and unified workflow solutions automate, standardize and streamline processes, increasing the cost-effectiveness of printing shorter runs of more titles and making it possible for authors to publish their own books.
