Not Sure If Hybrid Publishing Is Right for You?

Hybrid publishing splits the difference between traditional and self-publishing. You keep creative control and higher royalties. We bring the editorial, design, and distribution expertise of a traditional house. If you’re weighing your options, start here.

our purpose

Storytellers on a Mission

The Publish Your Purpose Family at the Mark Twain House in Hartford, CT (September 2023)

We believe that every story has the power to change the world, and we are here to ensure that voices often excluded from traditional publishing houses are heard.

Through our programs, we provide the quality and prestige of a traditional publisher while preserving the creative freedom and equitable royalties of self-publishing.

Nearly 300 books later, we’re still selective about who we publish and why. Whether you are addressing critical social issues, sharing transformative ideas, or leading revolutionary movements, PYP is here to help you bring your vision to life.

Why Publish Your Purpose?

creative control icon

Maintain Creative Control

Our publishing house grants you complete creative control of your book—a right traditional publishing houses take away.

 

royalties icon

Make Real Royalties

You keep 100% of your book royalties. Most hybrid publishers pay authors 50-85%, and take the rest. Traditional publishers pay 4-10%. We don’t take a cut of what your book earns.

book review icon

Get Your Book Reviewed

Publish Your Purpose books are eligible for reviews by traditional review outlets, unlike self-published books.

As authors ourselves, we know how hard it can be to get started on a book publishing journey. Think of us as your publisher therapists!

The publishing industry can be exclusive, costly, and predatory—that’s why we empower our authors to understand the industry better through education and collaborative learning.

distribution icon

Distribution Handled. Marketing Guided

We manage full distribution to the retailers and platforms that matter. On marketing, you’re not handed a plan and left to run with it. We collaborate with you on real strategy, every step of the way.

This collaboration was a perfect fit, and I couldn’t be more excited about the collective impact we’re making.

I was thrilled to partner with PYP to bring my LEADERSHIP TYPES book to life. From the beginning, I felt a strong sense of our mission-alignment to amplify underrepresented voices and our shared commitment to foster inclusivity.

—Laura Barnard, author of
LEADERSHIP TYPES

Working with PYP was an exceptional experience from start to finish.

The team’s professionalism, creativity, and attention to detail were outstanding, and they helped bring our vision to life seamlessly. I highly recommend PYP to anyone looking to publish their story with care and precision.

Publish Your Purpose (PYP) is refreshingly JUST what they say. Founder and CEO Jenn T. Grace is truly a book sherpa.

She has created an author-centric model that makes book-writing approachable, efficient, and even joyful. AND we get to retain ownership of OUR IP – that shouldn’t be as jaw-dropping as it is. I’ve recommended PYP to every soul I meet who’s thinking of writing a book. As well as several who aren’t, but I think should be.

—Nell Derick Debevoise, author of
Going First

PYP were a joy to work with!

Efficient, helpful, always ready to guide and advise, I felt supported at every step of the journey. Thank you PYP and I look forward to working with you again.

Common Questions

Is this the same as self-publishing?

No. You keep the creative control and royalty structure of self-publishing, but with a selective review process, professional editing, design, and distribution built in from the start.

How is this different from paying a vanity press?

Vanity presses publish anything, regardless of quality, if you pay. We don’t. Our manuscript review process turns down more books than it accepts. When your book carries our name, it’s already been vetted, edited, and positioned by a team that’s done this hundreds of times, not assembled piecemeal.

What does it cost?

Publishing packages start at $19,500 and scale based on the scope of support your book needs. Use our Book Cost Blueprint to see a full breakdown before you talk to anyone.

Do I keep the rights to my book?

Yes. Full creative control, and you keep 100% of your book royalties. Most hybrid publishers pay authors 50-85% and take the rest. Traditional publishers pay 4-10%.
