Hybrid Publishing
Hybrid is a paid publishing model where the author and publisher become partners to promote the book. Hybrid is NOT self-publishing.
As publisher, we guide writers through the entire production and promotion process, including story coaching, developmental editing, copy/line editing, proofreading, design, reviews, promotion, and marketing.
We can also coordinate a ghostwriter if help is needed in crafting the story.

Author-Publishing
(also known as self-publishing)
Publishing can be confusing, especially when the writer takes on all the responsibility. We can help with every aspect of production after your story is written.
Whether using our literary and design services or you have a print-ready book, we can help you through the process, upload, and find the best way to market your book.
Author-published writers pay only for services required from W. Brand Publishing.

literary services
Whether you write it yourself and need editing and proofreading or you need your story written, we can help you. We will talk through your ideas and help you decide the best way to tell your story and facilitate a solution to bring it to life.
design
Our award-winning graphic designers create original book covers and interior layouts to fit your story. Whether you have an idea or photographs you want to use or you’d like us to create our vision, we will present a cover that is focused on your genre and worthy of any shelf or screen.
marketing
Your story needs to be heard, and marketing is the key component in achieving that goal. Partnering with our authors by combining our followers and theirs creates a campaign platform that utilizes social media, podcasts, blogs, and in-person opportunities. Utilizing non-traditional methods of marketing through all media available allows us to reach a broader audience.
more about our services
We provide all the services needed for authors to publish their best story possible–writing, editing, design, and distribution. We promote the Author and the book through marketing and social media. We listen to the Authors and provide for their needs and the needs of their audience. We assist Author-Published writers through the publishing production process and the promotion of their book(s).
As an Independent Publisher, we currently use the Print-On-Demand (POD) structure for distributing our books. This allows for low overhead, less waste, and a faster turn-around. POD immediately distributes the book through Ingram Wholesale for bookstores, school and library orders, and inclusion through online stores such as Amazon and Barnes and Noble. We continually reshape our distribution options as the industry changes and our catalog grows to ensure that we provide the most appropriate outlets for our authors. We will always seek the best way to bring our stories to readers, whether traditionally or out-of-the-box methods.
Authors always own their copyright and receive royalties in all our plans.
