Email UsWhat is a Hybrid Publisher?
A Hybrid Publisher offers services to authors to bring their dream of becoming a published author to life. There are fees paid by the author throughout the publishing journey and the publisher performs services for those fees.
FEES: Some publishers charge thousands of dollars to help Authors get published. We believe in offering a service at a reasonable price. At Silver Rose Press, it is our goal to keep those prices reasonable so that authors can afford to achieve their dreams.
ROYALTIES: With our Hybrid Publishing platform authors receive he entire package of publishing services, however once the book is published, it remains with Silver Rose Press for a minimum of 2 years. The author will receive 75% of royalties, paid on a monthly basis, and Silver Rose will receive 25%. By doing so, any changes that need to be made are not at the author's expense.
MARKETING: We will take care of some marketing for the author. We place the book on our website and market it on our Facebook page. We will also assist the author in setting up their Amazon Author Page and an Author Facebook page if needed.
PACKAGE PRICING: Please visit our Package Page for more information on pricing. If you have questions, you can email us at SilverRosePress@gmail.com.
What is Assisted Self-Publishing?
Assisted Self Publishing is when a reputable publisher, such as Silver Rose Press, assists a potential Author in getting their book published. Once the book is ready to go, the publisher holds no rights and all rights go to the Author.
THE PROCESS: The publisher may do all or certain parts of the publishing process such as editing, formatting, cover design, etc. and then it is either emailed to the Author or uploaded to their Amazon account.
ROYALTIES: Publishing this way will allow the Author to receive 100% of the royalties for their book, however they also incur all of the expense of paying for the marketing, changes, etc. once the book has been published. This option works best for seasoned authors who know how to manage their own publications and marketing and is not generally the best way to go for a newby author.
MARKETING: The Author is responsible for all aspects of marketing. Their book will not be placed on the publisher's website or advertised on their Facebook Page. Silver Rose Press does have a Book-a-Teria selection where an Author can select certain aspects to be added on to their package.
CONTRACT: Authors will be required to sign a contract, but once the book is completed, approved by the author, and they have received all of their files and/or published, the contract ends.
