WHAT IS HYBRID PUBLISHING?
If we really love your story and feel that there is a place for it in the market, then we may offer to work with you on a hybrid publishing package.
In the same way that an author invests in self publishing, their investment
is utilised by us, the publishing company, to handle the entire publishing process. Sometimes this is confused with 'vanity publishing' where authors may get promised rewards that seldom materialise, due to a lack of sales; our hybrid model is different because we not only publish your book, but provide you with enough books to make a significant profit on your investment.
​
Our package gives you a healthy amount of books to sell, but also enables us
(along with our global distributors) to proudly launch your new children's book
across many stores, libraries and schools around the world, making it eligible for book awards and international rights sales (translated versions).
