Four clearly defined paths — pick the one that fits your goals, budget and how much control you want to keep.
Traditional Publishing
A publishing house acquires the rights to a manuscript, pays the author an advance, and covers all costs for editing, cover design, printing, and distribution. The publisher handles the business side while the author earns royalties on each sale.
- You pay
- Nothing up front
- Rights
- Publisher holds publishing rights
Self-Publishing (Indie Publishing)
The author acts as their own publisher, retaining full creative control and copyright ownership. The author pays upfront for any editing or design and uses distribution platforms to deliver the book directly to readers.
- You pay
- Only the services you choose
- Rights
- You keep 100% of rights
Hybrid Publishing
This model blends traditional and self-publishing by having the author pay an upfront fee to cover production costs while the publisher provides professional vetting, editing, and distribution. In return for sharing the financial risk, the author receives significantly higher royalty rates than in traditional publishing.
- You pay
- A shared production fee
- Rights
- You keep your rights
Vanity / Service Publishing
A vanity press accepts virtually any manuscript and charges the author substantial fees to print and produce the book, offering little to no editorial support, quality control, or genuine retail distribution. Unlike legitimate hybrid publishers, vanity presses make their profit from the author rather than from selling books to readers. Heesh offers a transparent Service Publishing option for authors who simply want their book printed and produced as-is — with every cost and limitation stated up front.
- You pay
- Production fee, stated up front
- Rights
- You keep your rights
