After seven years as a pioneer in self- publishing, and experiencing unprecedented growth, 1stBooks announced this March it is changing its name to AuthorHouse. The company's new identity is driven by its growing presence in the book publishing industry and its strong commitment to an author-centric business model.

AuthorHouse exists to help authors achieve success -- by their definition. The company was founded in 1997 by an aspiring author who saw a need for a simple and effective self-publishing process. Based in Bloomington, Indiana, AuthorHouse has grown into the world's largest self-publishing house, providing premier publishing and marketing services for authors. AuthorHouse provides a broad array of tools and services to allow authors to make their own choices throughout the publishing process. Authors retain all rights, maintain editorial control and choose the exact selection of services that best suits their goals. With AuthorHouse, every author controls his or her own publishing destiny.
