What is Hybrid Publishing?

Hybrid publishing merges elements of both traditional and self-publishing, offering authors professional support while allowing them to retain more creative control. This model requires an upfront financial investment from the author, covering production costs, while ensuring higher royalty rates and access to marketing and distribution services.

At Lingua Ink, we follow the professional standards set by the Independent Book Publishers Association to ensure that every book meets industry benchmarks. Our approach gives authors input on crucial publishing decisions, such as cover design and formatting, while allowing us to handle the complexities of production and distribution.

We encourage potential authors to explore hybrid publishing fully before deciding if it is the right path. Reedsy.com, as one example, offers a comprehensive guide outlining the advantages and potential drawbacks of hybrid publishing from an author’s perspective. We want to work with authors who see hybrid publishing as the right fit for their goals. We don’t offer a sales pitch, but an invitation to collaborate on bringing your work to life.
