We publish a wide range of genres, including fiction, nonfiction, memoirs, business books, self-help, and children’s books. Each of our imprints has a specific focus, ensuring that every book finds its ideal audience.

Traditional publishing: The publisher covers all costs, including editing, design, printing, and marketing, while the author earns royalties from book sales. The publisher typically has full control over publishing decisions. Hybrid publishing: The author invests in the publishing process while retaining more creative control and a higher percentage of royalties. Hybrid publishing combines the quality of traditional publishing with the flexibility and speed of self-publishing.

Yes! Some of our imprints operate traditionally, while others follow a hybrid model. Our team evaluates each book individually to determine the best publishing path.

Hybrid publishing allows authors to maintain creative control while leveraging professional editorial, design, marketing, and distribution services. Authors also earn significantly higher royalties than in traditional publishing, often up to 50-70% of net sales.

The investment varies depending on the level of services required. We provide customized pricing based on editorial needs, cover design, formatting, marketing, and distribution. A detailed proposal is provided after manuscript evaluation.

Through our partnership with Simon & Schuster, our books are distributed to bookstores, online retailers, and libraries worldwide. Our hybrid authors benefit from the same high-quality distribution as our traditionally published titles.

Our dedicated marketing team, with decades of experience, works to amplify your book’s reach through targeted digital campaigns on platforms like Amazon, Facebook, and Instagram, as well as expert publicity through our sister company, Pacific & Court.
