Hybrid Publishing: Your Path to Publication — or a Pothole?

Written By Jeffrey Allen Mangus

By Jeffrey Mangus, CEO, Mangus Media Group

A hybrid publishing model offers a compelling middle ground between traditional and self-publishing.

This model gives you control and higher royalties.

Yet, is it the right choice?

Hybrid's Upsides:

You are in charge: Unlike traditional publishers, hybrid models give you significant creative control.

*

With a financial investment, you get a bigger slice of the pie. Traditional publishing offers lower royalty rates.

Pro Polish:

Reputable hybrid publishers provide professional editing, design, and formatting.

Our team of reputable and elite writers and publishers delivers books that are:

Faster to market:

Skip traditional publishing timelines. A hybrid often means your book gets to readers quicker.

A wider reach:

Many hybrid publishers have established distribution networks, so your book can be sold online and in physical bookstores.

In most hybrid agreements, you retain full copyright.

Hybrid Downsides

What's the most significant difference? You may have to invest thousands of dollars up front in publishing services.

You won't receive a cash advance against royalties.

A hybrid landscape is unregulated.

Avoid vanity presses by carefully vetting publishers.

Marketing is Still Your Job: While some guidance may be offered, the heavy lifting usually falls on you.

Hybrid publishing doesn't guarantee a bestseller.

Your book's quality and marketing efforts are still crucial.

Big question? Is Hybrid Right for You?

Hybrid publishing is ideal if you:

Invest in your book.

Want more creative freedom.

Production support is needed.

Actively market your work.
