Frequently Asked Questions
What is hybrid publishing?
Hybrid publishing combines the best of traditional and self-publishing. You retain creative control and ownership, while we provide professional editing, design, distribution, and support to help your book succeed.
How is PublishMe different from a vanity press?
We are not a vanity press. Vanity presses publish anything for a fee without quality standards. At PublishMe, manuscripts are reviewed, and only those meeting our criteria move forward. We work as your publishing partner, not just a printer.
Do I keep the rights to my book?
Yes. You retain full copyright and ownership of your manuscript. We simply provide the publishing services that bring your book to market.
Do you accept every manuscript submitted?
No. We review submissions and only proceed with manuscripts that meet our quality standards. This ensures every published book reflects strong craftsmanship and credibility.

Depending on your package, we offer:
- Professional editing
- Cover design
- Interior layout and typesetting
- eBook formatting
