Hybrid Publishers
Hybrid publishing is an emerging model that combines different aspects of traditional publishing and self-publishing. According to the Independent Book Publishers Association, hybrid publishers must:
- Define a mission and vision for its publishing program.
- Vet submissions.
- Publish under its own imprint(s) and ISBNs.
- Publish to industry standards.
- Ensure editorial, design, and production quality.
- Pursue and manage a range of publishing rights.
- Provide distribution services.
- Demonstrate respectable sales.
- Pay authors a higher-than-standard royalty.
At Spring Cedars, for example, we provide writers with customizable services based on their specific needs and goals, and view the publishing process as a partnership with the author.
