Will your publisher send you on a book tour? Could your publisher go out of business, and leave you with no book and no royalties? What in the world is "hybrid publishing" anyway? We cover all of this, and so much more!
For more than 25 years, we have heard from hundreds of authors who have tried more than one of these options, and shared their experiences with us. The truths may shock you.
