Dreaming of publishing your book? There’s more than one way to bring your words into the world, and each path comes with its own pros and cons.
👉 In this carousel, we break down the 5 main types of book publishing:
1 Traditional Publishing – publishers handle editing, design, printing, and marketing while authors earn royalties.
2 Self-Publishing – full creative freedom (and responsibility) with platforms like Amazon KDP & IngramSpark.
3 Hybrid Publishing – a balance of support and control, with professional services for a fee.
4 Academic/Educational – focused on research, textbooks, and scholarly works, often peer-reviewed
5 Vanity/Subsidy – where authors pay to publish, though less focused on market demand.
The best path depends on your goals, resources, and the kind of author journey you want.
