Author Solutions, Inc.'s Keith Ogorek to Present at the Inaugural Book Expo America DIY Authors Conference

NEW YORK, May 24 /PRNewswire/ -- Author Solutions, Inc., the world leader in indie book publishing, announced Friday that Keith Ogorek, senior vice president of marketing, will present at the 2010 Book Expo America DIY Authors Conference & Marketplace Monday, May 24 at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center.

Ogorek is a sought-after speaker on the topic of indie book publishing, and speaks annually at the AARP's national convention, the London Book Fair and the San Francisco Writers Conference. His presentation, "Indie Book Publishing - No Longer about Vanity," takes place at 2 p.m. in room 1E16. During his speech, Ogorek will draw distinctions between "old vanity publishing" and the indie book publishing revolution, illustrating how advances in technology, access to traditional distribution channels and the emergence of new digital formats are making indie book publishing the most flexible and author-friendly model in today's industry.

"As book publishing evolves, indie book publishing is becoming the rule rather than the exception, but sometimes it's still misunderstood," said Ogorek. "Some have tried to blur the lines by lumping non-traditional publishing models under the tag 'vanity publishing.' It's important that authors understand the differences in these models and realize the advantages available to them through indie book publishing."

New for 2010, the BEA DIY Authors Conference & Marketplace will offer aspiring writers critical information and solutions to help them get published or self-published. Leaders from the industry's most respected DIY service providers will be in attendance, offering services to aspiring authors looking to package bring their manuscripts to market as professionally published books. Registration information for the conference is available at http://bookexpoamerica.com/en/Conference/DIY-Authors-Conf-Marketplace.
