An innovative way to publish your book

As authors we understand the choice you face about the best way to make all your hard writing work into reality.

Should you submit queries to agents and go down the traditional publishing route? If successful, you’ll give up your rights over the work – in exchange for the chance to have it put out by a commercial publisher. But a traditional publishing deal, while exciting, can be hard to get. You need an agent, and they are inundated with submissions, which means it’s easy to get lost in their ‘slush pile’. And even if you are fortunate enough to secure representation, there’s no guarantee they can get you a publishing deal.

Or should you go down the self-publishing route? You’ll keep your rights, and therefore creative control over things like the cover, content, and the marketing. You’ll also potentially make much more money per book sold. But you’ll lose the credibility of having a publisher. You will also have to do all the work – and pay for it – yourself, so what if you get it wrong? There’s an endless list of tasks which can be overwhelming. Who can you turn to for help?

Well, now you can have the best of both worlds, with Winter & Drew’s innovative hybrid publishing approach.
