Originally called 1stBooks, the company was founded in Bloomington, Indiana, USA, in January 1997. Its first e-book appeared in June of that year. In January 1999, it started using print-on-demand technology to produce paper books. AuthorHouse's website states the company has published 60,000 books by 40,000 authors.〔(Self Publishing – AuthorHouse Book Publishing Company )〕 The company opened an office in Milton Keynes, United Kingdom, in May 2004. In December 2005, AuthorHouse was "nominated" by the Indiana Chamber of Commerce for the Small Business of the Year Award.〔 〕
The California-based investment group Bertram Capital purchased AuthorHouse in 2007 from Gazelle TechVentures, which had owned AuthorHouse since 2002. Later that year, Bertram established Author Solutions and acquired one of AuthorHouse's competitors - iUniverse - before relocating iUniverse's operations to Indiana in early 2008.
