📚 Why Do Publishers Ask for Money?
We get this question a lot — and it’s a great one.
Here’s the short answer:
Not all publishing works the same way.
👑 Traditional Publishing = The publisher pays for everything and takes most of the control (and profit). It’s like winning a book deal lottery — and it’s highly competitive.
✨ Hybrid Publishing = You invest in your book upfront. We provide professional services like editing, design, publishing, and marketing. You keep more control, more royalties, and we work with you — not above you.
🙅♀️ Not Vanity Publishing:
Vanity publishers will print anything for a fee. We don’t. We partner with authors who have powerful stories and messages — and we help bring them to life, professionally and purposefully.
