The type of publishing we offer at Excellencess is what we call Hybrid Publishing. To understand this type of publishing better, you may first need to understand the other two types that exist in the market. These are :
Traditional Publishing
This is the traditional and most established form of publishing. In traditional publishing, a publisher (such as a publishing house or imprint) assumes the financial risk of producing and distributing a book. In exchange, the publisher gets the majority of the profits from book sales. The author typically receives an advance and a royalty on each book sold.
Self-Publishing
In self - publishing, the author takes on the role of the publisher and is responsible for all aspects of the publishing process, including editing, design, production, and distribution. Self - publishing allows authors to retain complete control over their work and to make all decisions about the publishing process. However, self - publishing also requires a significant investment of time and money on the part of the author, and can be difficult to reach a wide audience without the support of a traditional publisher.
Hybrid Publishing
Hybrid publishing combines elements of traditional and self publishing. In hybrid publishing, authors typically receive various professional services including proofreading and editing, book layout, cover design, ISBN purchase, and Amazon publishing. These services are provided at a fee to the client. The benefit to the client here is that he or she gets to retain control over the publishing process unlike in traditional publishing. The author is also responsible for the costs of production, with the publishing firm assuming a portion of the financial risk during the process. Hybrid publishing can be a good option for authors who want more control over their work but also want the support, professional knowledge and resources of a traditional publisher. This is the option that Excellencess provides.
Key Benefits of Hybrid: In Summary
