Inside the Collapse: What Traditional Publishers Don’t Want You to Know About Their Imminent Demise
Real Hybrid Publishers: These firms pay all of the publishing costs, only have contract terms of around three years, and they pay higher royalties than traditional publishers. One example of this is AbuzzPress.com. Abuzz Press is an imprint of BookLocker, but it is extremely selective, and only publishes around 10 books per year.
MYTH: If you self-publish, no traditional publisher will want your book in the future.
That is completely inaccurate. In fact, if you self-publish your book, and sell a few thousand copies, traditional publishers will be FAR more likely to offer you a contract. Had you spent a year or two (or more) trying to land a literary agent and a traditional contract, chances are, as a new/unknown author, you would not have gotten an offer from them anyway. We’ve had BookLocker authors land traditional contracts after having impressive sales, become disillusioned with that entire process, and then come back to BookLocker to have their future books published.
