ABOUT US
Publish Authority
Excellence In Book Publishing
for independent authors
Publish Authority is an independent book publisher using the hybrid publishing business model. But we do more than publish books. Our passion is to publish professional-quality books for indie authors and help them market and sell them.
As a hybrid publisher, Publish Authority is a much-need publishing alternative for the independent author. A traditional publisher buys your project but often gives you a minimal royalty percentage, along with no editorial, cover design, or marketing control. Self-publishers are not selective in what they publish, nor are they set up to be. They will publish everything presented to them regardless of quality. We have authors who have come to us after experiencing the financial and publishing disappointments of self-publishing. We proudly occupy the middle ground offering what we feel to be the best of both worlds.
As a proud member of the Independent Book Publishers Association (IBPA), we adhere to their strict publishing criteria. And, as a hybrid publisher, we share in the upfront publishing expenses with our authors while they retain full ownership of their project while enjoying the highest royalties in the industry.
IBPA's Hybrid Publisher Criteria
- Define a mission and vision for its publishing program.
- Vet submissions.
- Publish under its own imprint(s) and ISBNs.
- Publish to industry standards.
- Ensure editorial, design, and production quality.
- Pursue and manage a range of publishing rights.
- Provide distribution services.
- Demonstrate respectable sales.
- Pay authors a higher-than-standard royalty.
After publishing books for almost a decade, we enjoy what we do best—publishing and helping market books as a team member with our authors.
