When it comes to deciding which type of publishing is right for an author it’s important that a new author understand the publishing industry.
The Publishing Industry has changed a lot in the last 20 years. Amazon, the internet and print-on-demand have changed the ways author can get their book to market and to a global audience of readers.
Hybrid Publishing vs. Traditional vs. Self-Publishing Which Type is Best For Each Author to get Global Distribution?
Since 76% of books in English are bought and read outside of the USA it’s important for new authors to realize that if they want global distribution for their book it’s important to get distribution beyond amazon.
According to Forbes, “Amazon is only 25% of the world’s book sales.”
And according to Bowker, “the average self-published author never sales more than 200 books.”
With traditional publishing the author:
- Gives up their rights
- Including giving up film and TV rights, etc…
- Only gets 7-15% of the royalties
- Has no creative control over the content or cover
- Cannot repurpose any of the content they wrote
- Gets Global Distribution for their book
- Takes 2-3 years to get to market
With Self-Publishing the author:
- Does everything themselves
- Never gets distribution beyond Amazon
- Makes 100% of the royalties
- On average never sales more than 200 books
With Hybrid Publishing the author:
-
- Makes 25-75% of the royalties
- Owns all film and TV rights, etc…
- Normally gets to market in 4-12 weeks
