What Is Hybrid Publishing?
How Hybrid Publishing Works
Hybrid publishing is a business model in which the author and publisher share in both costs and profits. Hybrid publishing offers authors a single package for editorial, design, packaging, printing, and distribution. Over the past two decades, this model has emerged as a popular and viable alternative to both traditional publishing and self-publishing. The Stable’s own Brooke Warner has trailblazed this middle ground, and we are proud that hybrid publishing is a cornerstone of The Stable Book Group.
At The Stable, our hybrid imprints adhere to the industry standards developed and championed by the Independent Book Publishers Association. Our hybrid-published books are multiple award-winning and include The New York Times, USA Today, and Boston Globe bestsellers.
Our titles have garnered starred reviews and have hit the Kirkus Indie Books list every year for the past decade. The Stable Book Group’s collective publishing experience and distribution through Simon & Schuster ensures that we will continue to honor She Writes Press’s legacy as the gold standard in hybrid publishing. With our existing imprints and future hybrid imprints we onboard, our commitment is and will stay focused on editorial and production excellence.
