Today, I want to talk to you about a game changer in the world of publishing - the hybrid publishing model.

Hybrid publishing is the sweet spot between traditional publishing and self publishing. Imagine having the creative control of self publishing with all the benefits and support of traditional publishing.

In the hybrid model, both the author and the publisher have a financial and creative investment in the author’s work.

Traditional publishing offers prestige - it’s like playing with all the cool kids at recess, but it often comes with large wait times and far, far smaller royalties.

Enter the hybrid publishing model. As a hybrid published author, you retain all control over your work, but one of the best benefits is that you will enjoy higher royalties. It’s really the best of both worlds!

Empowered Press and our two imprints are leading the charge in hybrid publishing. We really pride ourselves in one-on-one relationships with all of our authors.

Additionally, we adhere to the practices of the IBPA (The Independent Book Publishers Association) and we also offer our authors traditional distribution, meaning your books will get on the shelves.

We would love to take a look at your story - we're accepting manuscripts for 2025!
