Why Choose a Hybrid Publisher?

An author has way too many important choices to make these days (and that's just about your coffee). Let's be honest, sometimes you're #blessed to keep from pulling your hair out waiting for the lady in front of you to fully explain exactly how much nonsugar and nonfat she requires for her world not to end.

Or is that just us?

Listen. Authoring is hard enough already. We're gonna go ahead and assume you don't want to make it harder by crushing your publishing dreams in the machinery the industry calls "opportunity." You can go traditional or self-pub—there's plenty of "opportunity" with both:

• Querying a million agents so you can try to cram your foot in the door. Yay!

• Enduring rejections. Fun!

• Oh, and did somebody mention false hope?

Okay, nah. Hard pass on that noise.

But there's this thing called hybrid publishing that's different...

How Is Hybrid Publishing Different?

For starters, what you see is what you get. We don't bait you with false hope and then switch it with the crushing reality that the real work starts after your book goes live. Our whole job is to help you succeed.

One way we do that is by connecting you to what you need. That not only includes world-class editing but also powerful unlocks for your marketing.

And by the way, when you publish with us, you own every bit of the book (warning: that includes sales or the lack thereof).

Cut to the chase: We'll never take a penny of your royalties or one iota of your rights.

How Does Hybrid Publishing Work?

It starts with polishing your story until it almost crackles, it's so packed with clarity and power. And while that's awesome, it's also a process, so brace yourself...because that's just the beginning.

We also help you get the whole back end set up:

• Meta data

• Marketing copy

• ISBNs

• Keywords and genre/subgenre

• Your distributor accounts and more

And we don't stop there. We have cover designers who can help you make your vision a striking reality. We have interior designers to help you with your layout, not just for print but for ebook too.

Plus, we actually give you powerful marketing tools! Yep, every introvert's favorite part. Hey, it's what you need to sell books, you know it, and we want to hand you those tools (with instructions).

Good To Know: If you're not into peopling much, you're what's called a "normal author." Oh, and if you're allergic to marketing or hate it, we're not surprised.

This is the part where we're gonna shoot you straight: hybrid publishing requires adulting. Yes, you own everything about your book. But also, um, you own everything about your book. It cuts both ways.

How Is White Noise Publishing Different?

White Noise is thousands of frequencies coming together at high intensity to drown out and obliterate unwanted sound. That means we're missional—utterly dedicated to finding original voices and jacking them into the power supply of a system that works.

And that also means we're looking for excellence. We're a merit-based publisher, so we're unafraid to tell you no (or not now). And of course, each submission is well-considered. The craft of storybuilding is a process, and a big part of our job is to help take you from spark in the dark to wildfire.

If you put in the work.

And that's the last and most important part: partnership. Lots of authors think if they just "get published," they're set. You know, because published books sell themselves by the millions with zero effort (so you can finally just write, dang it!). But if books could sell themselves, money would probably be free.

That's why you need help. We don't mean it like, "Dude, seek help."

More like, "Hey, friend. Seems like you could use a little help there," (as we hand you the tool you needed). That's what it's like working with White Noise Publishing.

You need someone who's been where you are and can walk with you as you work through the process. That helps you learn, gives you dignity, and empowers your growth as a creator.

And oh yeah, it also makes awesome books!
