L3 · Design · distribution · audio · navigationEvery store, your imprint.
Independent, hybrid or traditional: we recommend the route that fits your goals, then handle production and distribution so the book looks and sells like a major release.
Publishing has never had more options, or more ways to choose badly. We compare the routes for your specific book: timelines, rights, royalties, distribution and how much control you keep.
On the independent route, everything is set up under your own imprint and accounts. On the traditional route, we build the proposal or submission package and a targeted agent list.

Should I self-publish or go traditional?
Traditional publishing offers an advance and bookstore reach but takes longer, often 18–24 months, with lower royalty rates. Independent publishing is faster and keeps you in control, but you fund production and marketing.
Do I own my ISBNs?
Yes. On the independent route we register ISBNs in your or your imprint’s name.
