Hybrid Publishing

So, you’ve completed your manuscript, now what do you do? Do you try to find a literary agent and go the traditional publishing route which can take years with no guarantee of being published? Or do you strike out on your own and self-publish without the skill and know how to produce an industry quality book?

 

You yearn for the prestige and quality assurance offered by a traditional publisher, but you also want the creative control and opportunity to earn more from self-publishing. So, what’s the best choice for you?

​

In the dynamic world of publishing, a hybrid publisher is a game-changer. It is a publishing model that combines the accessibility of self-publishing with the professionalism and support of traditional publishing.

 

As a hybrid publisher, Leap Forward Publishing takes on the role of a collaborative partner. We guide authors through the entire publishing process. Hybrid publishing presents a unique middle ground between self-publishing and traditional publishing, offering authors a blend of the best features from both worlds.
