When you want to publish a book you have to think about what’s important to you. Do you want to publish your book or do you want to have a lot of control over it? Traditional publishing is a way to do it. You send your manuscript to an agent or a publisher. If they like it they will take care of editing, designing, printing, marketing and selling your book. The good thing about publishing is that it gives you prestige and credibility. Having a known publishers name on your book can help you get into bookstores and get media attention. However it takes a time usually 12 to 24 months and you do not have much control over your books cover and marketing. You also get a percentage of the profit usually around 8 to 15%. This way is good for you if you want to win awards and you are willing to wait.
Self-publishing is another way to go. You can publish your book in little as 30 to 90 days and you get to decide everything, including the cover, title, price and how you want to sell it. You also get to keep most of the profit around 60 to 70% on platforms like Amazon KDP. The hard part is that you have to do everything yourself including editing, formatting and marketing. This can be overwhelming if you do not have the help. Self-publishing is good for authors who want to publish their book and want to be in charge of everything. However it requires a lot of planning and hard work to do it correctly.
Hybrid publishing is what most authors are choosing these days. You pay some money upfront. In return you get a professional team to help you with editing, designing and selling your book. You also get to keep control over your book and a bigger share of the profit usually around 40 to 60%. It does not take long as traditional publishing, usually 3 to 6 months. At Papercraft Publishers they specialize in publishing. They help authors with every step of the process including evaluating their manuscript editing and formatting designing the cover and selling the book. If you want to publish your book professionally without giving up control, hybrid publishing with Papercraft Publishers may be the way to go.
Bottom line: If you want to win awards traditional publishing is the way to go. If you want to publish your book and make the most money self-publishing is the way. If you want to have a team help you and still keep control of your book, hybrid publishing with Papercraft Publishers is the way.
