If you’re trying to decide between self-publishing and hybrid publishing for your nonfiction book, here’s how to make your decision. Self-publishing is very much a DIY process. You need to hire the designers, the editors. You need to get your own ISBN numbers. There are a lot of steps, but you can absolutely do it if you enjoy DIY.
If you don’t enjoy DIY like me, then you would hire it out to a hybrid publisher. A hybrid publisher does all the heavy lifting. You’re still ultimately making the decisions. You’re maintaining copyright control over your work, but they’re bringing the expertise, and you’re gonna pay for that. So, you need a budget.
Generally, hybrid publishing starts around nine thousand dollars. So, if you’re DIY, go self-publish. If you have a budget and you’re not DIY, hybrid publishing is probably for you.
