The new hybrid publishing program offers the unpublished writer a choice, and the published author an opportunity. Anyone wanting to publish their manuscript or re-launch a previously published book should consider the hybrid model. Choosing how to publish should be a personal decision, not an economic one. If you want access to national booksellers and that market, you have to abide by their rules. There are no exceptions. The hybrid program has been designed to follow the national bookseller rules in every manner.
The new hybrid publishing and distribution program is identical to how the major New York publishers sell and distribute books for their various imprints. The economics of the printed book business require that new authors publish according to Book Industry Standards, which makes the profit margins extremely small. The marketplace demands quality in writing, production, categorization and pricing. These are the rules of the business and ones that all authors must abide.
