Written by Bruce Batchelor, inventor of print-on-demand publishing and publisher to thousands of authors from more than 100 countries, this book is based on 10 months of interviews with industry insiders and bestselling indie (self-publishing) authors who have used iUniverse, Xlibris, Trafford, Lulu and other services. Learn how some have sold up to one million copies. Each author reveals the hits and misses of book marketing where innovation and clever choices bring best results and satisfaction. About the Author In 1995, BRUCE BATCHELOR rocked the publishing industry when he invented print-on-demand (POD) publishing and triggered a landslide of new books from every country in the world.

In 2007, an estimated 30,000 new authors will use POD services such as AuthorHouse, BookSurge, iUniverse, Lulu, Trafford and Xlibris.
