​Full Event Description

​For decades, authors had one clear goal: land an agent and secure a traditional publishing deal.

​Today, hybrid publishing has emerged as a serious alternative, but many writers still don’t fully understand how it works, how it differs from self-publishing, or whether it’s the right choice for them.

​In this live Author Insider Q&A, Brooke Warner, publisher of She Writes Press and a 25-year publishing veteran, will walk us through:

• ​What hybrid publishing actually is (and what it isn’t)

• ​How hybrid compares to traditional publishing

• ​The financial realities of both models

• ​Distribution, bookstore access, and credibility

• ​Who controls what in each path

• ​What kinds of authors and books are best suited for hybrid

​This session is for authors seeking clarity before committing to a publishing path. Live questions welcome.
