ADVICE

Start With Clear Publishing Goals

  • Decide your publishing goal first: bestseller mass-market reach or a quick legacy/self-published book.
  • Let that goal determine whether you pursue traditional, hybrid, or self-publishing and who to hire.
ADVICE

Use Hybrid Publishing For Faster Launches

  • If speed to market matters, consider hybrid publishers for professional self-publishing and faster timelines.
  • Weigh opportunity cost: waiting for traditional deals can lose business momentum and income.

Pick Ghostwriter Or Coach By Constraints
