A Look Ahead to
Self-Publishing in 2015
Industry insiders predict an increase in diversity, serialization, and
hybrid publishing
By Jennifer McCartney

SELFPUBLISHING PREVIEW
There has been a realization over the
last year, I would say, that, in order to
be successful, self-publishers must
see themselves as business owners and
recognize that writing the content is
only the first of many steps, says Barblan. While he notes that content
is still king, he points out that even
good content will have trouble finding
an audience if authors arent publishing
professionallypaying attention to the
services a traditional publisher offers
like editing, marketing, e-book conversion, and cover design. Authors have
realized that when choosing to self-publish they are not eliminating the role
of the publisher: rather, they choose to
assume the publishers responsibilities.
This means that indie authors are doing
more work than their traditionally published counterparts, but are perhaps
more empowered as a resulttaking
ownership of their titles and working to
expand their business.
Dillon at Lulu agrees. Its been very
fulfilling to see the concept of the
authorpreneur take hold in 2014, he
says. As an example, Dillon points to the
portion of Lulu authors who are utilizing
the free tools offered by
the site to communicate
directly with their readers, which in turn builds
loyalty and drives sales.
The one thing our authors did supremely
well in 2014 is they got
to know their readers, to
understand who they
are, and to deliver an
ever increasing amount
of high quality content Beat Barblan
to them, something
Dillon says is the hallmark of a maturing
and thriving marketplace. As 2015 gets
under way, we expect to serve even greater numbers of authors who consider
themselves the CEO of their book business. He also notes that, as business
owners, authors are working to develop
customer loyalty in order to keep their
customers for life.

Nevertheless, Dillon is confident that
Gardner also notes that fan fiction
there is still an appetite for new books,

category on Wattpad, covering
everything from celebrities to
YouTubers to apps and classic
novels. Gardner says she expects to see more real person

breaking news in the coming

remains strong, shes seeing a

and that those books all have the potential to find an audience. The magic of
the book business is that for every book,
there are n number of customers, he
notes. Readers are perpetually buying
new content, and no one book addresses
their every need or desire. Dillon also
says that, unlike practical items like
washing machines, snowblowers, or tablets, readers can always use another book.
Diane Mancher, founder of One Potata
Productions and cofounder of the SelfPublishing Book Expo agrees, pointing
out that she doesnt believe there can ever
be too much content available. That to
me would be like suggesting there is too
much music to listen to or too much art
to appreciate.
I think that the publishing industry
has always been faced with too many
books, so little time to read, adds
Dedecker. That said, authors who embrace best practices in publishing, have
a solid focused plan to engage readers,
and are testing new opportunities to

Self-Publishing
Predictions for 2015
By Betty Kelly Sargent
verybody knows that self-publishing has exploded. In fact, an analysis by ProQuest affiliate
Bowker from last fall reveals that the number of
self-published titles in 2013 was up 437% over
2008. Not only that, but a small but growing
number of indie authors have been making incomes in the
high six figuresand sometimes more. But what now? Is the
bubble about to burst or will self-published authors continue
to thrive?
Bestselling writer Hugh Howey, author of the Wool and
the Silo series, believes 2015 will be a quiet year in selfpublishing when compared with 2014. I predict e-book
penetration will continue to grow, he told GalleyCat in
December. Publishers seem to have embraced what digital
does for their bottom line. Additionally, Howey told GalleyCat
he feels the future of Barnes & Noble will become clearer in
2015 and that Google and Apple will win market share from
Amazon.
Joel Friedlander, the publishing guru who runs the blog the
Book Designer, believes that self-publishing will continue to
grow, and he says there are two trends for indie authors to watch
and take advantage of in 2015. The first is collaboration. This
is already starting to happen with authors cooperating on publishing and marketing tasks, even forming new, small presses
to better distribute their work, he says. By pooling their
energy and knowledge, indie authors can publish more, better,
and faster.
The second trend, according to Friedlander, is the maturing
of online bookselling and marketing. We are seeing and will
continue to see new services, new products, and new ways to
connect with readers that leverage the broad acceptance of mobile platforms, he points out. Tech-savvy publishers will find
the Holy Grail of book marketing when they learn to combine
the power of social interaction with the intimacy of mobile
computing.
Speaking of mobile computing, its interesting to note that
publishing analyst Thad McIlroys 11 Topmost Digital Book
Publishing Trends & Opportunities report cites data from the
Pew Research Center and Nielsen Book Research indicating the
following:
42 P U B L I S H E R S W E E K L Y J A N U A R Y 1 9 , 2 0 1 5
The lesson here for indie authors is pretty clear: if mobile isnt
already an important part of your strategy, you need to revisit
your strategy.
On his website, author and blogger Russell Blake predicts
that subscription services, such as Oyster, Scribd, and Amazons
Kindle Unlimited, will make it harder for indie authors to sell
their books in 2015. (The New York Times also covered indie
authors displeasure with Kindle Unlimited.) Blake also underscores the importance of building your brand and says exclusivity
to any vendor will continue to cost authors more that it earns
them over the mid-to-long run, and he suggests that diversification across all vendors will continue to be important for
smart publishers, indie especially.
And what do all these advances in technology mean for indie
authors? According to an article by technology journalist Jeff
Bertolucci in Information Week, almost anyone can be a data
scientist. Lukas Biewald, CEO and cofounder of CrowdFlower,
a data mining and crowdsourcing service, says, As data
becomes more accessible and analytic tools become easier to use
and readily available, data science wont be limited to those in
the technology sector. In 2015, anyone with the right tools can
draw powerful insights from data.
Perhaps most interesting of all is what McIlroy says in his
aforementioned report about self-publishing and the publishing
industry at large: Self-publishing represents a creative disruption within the publishing industry. As such, its to be
embraced. These self-published authors may have much to teach
the entire publishing industry; each experiment is an idea that
a traditional publishing house might adopt.

Naik throws light on the life of a city in
all its shades, glory, and misery in these

other chimeras in the city;
a third is about the beginning of meditation and
knowledge; one records the
poets sense of futility,
memory, pain, exile, and
alienation at the shore of life. In the last
section, the city is unfolded as a marketplace, as a heaven for underdogs, and as a
seedbed of change, and is observed at evening, at midnight, by moonlight, and
through fog and haze.

Everywhere he went, he was mobbed. In
