Self-publishing has become a lucrative business for some companies and a few authors as well.  One of the companies who has created a thriving business in the self-publishing industry is "Author Solutions, Inc.," a world leader in independent book publishing. Now, the senior vice president of the company has published a book that delves into what makes a successful self published book.  

The book entitled, "7 Secrets of Successful Self Published Authors" surveys the most successful authors the author Keith Ogorek has worked with and attempts to give a guide based on the common threads he's witnessed between these different self-published authors.

Ogorek writes, "Over the past few years, I have found that there are common elements among those authors who have found self publishing to be a satisfying experience," said Ogorek. "I have presented these concepts in successful webinars but decided it was time to make these helpful ideas available as an e-book as well." 

Author Solutions, Inc (ASI) has several leading independent self-publishing imprints under its belt including AuthorHouse, AuthorHouse UK, iUniverse, Palibrio, Trafford Publishing and Xlibris.  Between them they have assisted 150,000 authors and haven brought 190,000 titles to the market.
