Hybrid book publishing combines elements of both traditional and self-publishing. In hybrid publishing, authors usually pay for some of the services involved in the publishing process, such as editing, cover design, and marketing, but they retain more creative control and higher royalty rates than in traditional publishing. The hybrid model allows authors to leverage the expertise of a publishing house while maintaining some financial investment and ownership of their work.
We offer a range of services including:
Manuscript evaluation and editing (content, copy, and proofreading)
Professional cover design and formatting
ISBN registration and book distribution (digital and print)
