What is Hybrid Publishing?

Since CJ’s foray into hybrid publishing, we thought we’d share the good, the bad, and the ugly in this month’s industry topic episode. CJ dives into her experience talking with two different publishing groups, what to look out for, and what separates hybrid publishing from vanity presses. We also delve into whether this option is better than self-publishing, or if you should cough up the cash. Join the conversation and make sure to leave your own experiences in the comments.  Additional research on hybrid publishing: https://www.sfwa.org/other-resources/for-authors/writer-beware/vanity/ https://hotsheetpub.com/2022/05/imho-a-nuanced-look-at-hybrid-publishers/ Make sure to follow us on Instagram @darksideoftheword and FaceBook to stay up to date.
