Publishing Services
J. Mark Publishing offers hybrid model publishing services—a cross between traditional and self-publishing. As with self-publishing, authors maintain 100% of the rights to their books and provide some input into their editing and design. A hybrid publisher ensures the final book is as polished and professional as possible. Not to be confused with “vanity publishing,” J. Mark Publishing and many hybrid publishers will not accept just any manuscript.
​
In our hybrid model, royalties are split between author and publisher with authors receiving 55% of net royalties. J. Mark Publishing's goal is to create books that are satisfactory with our authors’ visions while positioning them to thrive in the marketplace. Our marketing efforts are custom-tailored to each book and we encourage our authors to assist us in enhancing their brand.
This is a brief overview but we are always happy to chat with aspiring authors. If you are thinking about getting your book published or just considering your options, shoot us an email. We’d be happy to answer your questions.
