Inside the Collapse: What Traditional Publishers Don’t Want You to Know About Their Imminent Demise
Fake Hybrid Publishers: A company claims they’ll match the money the author pays to get their book published. Hybrid publishing is the most abused term in the industry right now. In reality, the company charges the author so much money that the author’s funds cover all of the publication costs, and much more. FACT: Fake hybrid publishers don’t actually contribute any money toward the publication costs. I heard from one author this week who paid $6K to one of these firms. Many of the “hybrid publishers” are part of the overseas publishing crime cartel, and never get the book published anyway. They just take the author’s money and run, after upselling the author on more and more fake services.
