The Millionaires of Self Publishing: Amazon.com, Inc.'s CreateSpace Passes Two Million Title Milestone While Schiel & Denver Surges Into the Lead

HOUSTON, May 26 /PRNewswire/ -- It was the double May shock announcement from CreateSpace and Schiel & Denver that has rocked the book publishing industry to the highest echelons, and caused the CEO of Random House to cancel a lunch meeting on Fifth Avenue.

CreateSpace, the self-publishing platform of the Amazon.com, Inc companies, last week reported that more than 2 million CDs and DVDs have been launched using the Amazon platform, while Houston-based independent book publishers, Schiel & Denver, a member of the United Nations Global Compact in NYC, surged first ahead of rival Author Solutions, Inc. by offering independent authors Apple iPad and iPhone distribution services with S&D's innovative book distribution system.

"This milestone of success for CreateSpace demonstrates the significant growth of our business and the on-demand industry," said Dana LoPiccolo-Giles, managing director, CreateSpace.

While speaking ahead of the Frankfurt Book Fair, Jodi Malcolm, Author Services Manager at Schiel & Denver said: "More and more authors are seeing Schiel & Denver as the answer to their prayers. By combining traditional catalog marketing with a non-exclusive contract and world-class distribution to Barnes & Noble, Amazon and Books-a-million, at an affordable price, Schiel & Denver is succeeding by offering authors more choice and more control of the book publishing process. Best of all, when writers become published authors with Schiel & Denver, they own all the copyright and publishing rights to their book."

But Ms Malcolm was underplaying Schiel & Denver's recent successes. It's no secret that many industry insiders now see Schiel & Denver Book Publishers, which also boasts a thriving UK division, as fast filling the business niche left behind from the closure of Amazon.com's BookSurge earlier in 2010.

As AuthorHouse and iUniverse look to attract new authors, Schiel & Denver is getting their authors on prime-time National TV, like independent novelist and former Oregon county commissioner, Caroline Miller, author of the bestselling novel Heart Land (2009), doing her third TV slot interview this year on the Trinity Broadcasting Network, America's #1 Christian Broadcasters.

Schiel & Denver also publishes in diplomatic UN languages, Spanish and French, as an honorary member of the United Nations Global Compact, and with authors like Professor Ruben Nazario MD, a board-certified pediatrician at the University of Kentucky, this feisty publishing company with a smooth Texan style, is now emerging as the premier book publishing company for all US and Canadian authors who want wider distribution and more expert support than either Author Solutions, Inc. or CreateSpace can offer.
