Our Publishing Approach: Transparent, Fair, and Author-Centric

Navigating the world of publishing can feel overwhelming. Between self-publishing—where you carry all the costs, work, and risk—and traditional publishing, where control and earnings often shift to the publisher, authors can feel caught in the middle. That’s where hybrid publishing comes in: a professional, author-centric partnership that balances creative freedom, shared investment, and success.

At Kingbird Press, we’ve reimagined hybrid publishing to meet the unique goals of nonfiction and fiction authors.

For Nonfiction Authors: Sharing the Costs, Maximizing the Rewards

Your book is more than words on a page—it’s a powerful tool to grow your business, establish thought leadership, and open new opportunities. Our hybrid model allows you to retain creative control and the majority of royalties by sharing in the publishing expenses upfront.

  • You Retain Control: Your book, your rights, your vision.

  • You Keep Most of the Royalties: You retain the lion’s share of earnings, with Kingbird holding just 10% of royalties.

  • Professional Production: Editing, design, distribution, and marketing tailored to ensure your book meets the highest professional standards.

Why This Model Works for Nonfiction Authors:
By investing in publishing services, you retain ownership of your success while ensuring a high-quality book that delivers measurable ROI—whether through speaking engagements, business growth, or increased credibility.

For Fiction Authors: Sharing the Risk, Sharing the Reward

Publishing fiction is a creative partnership. As your publisher, we believe in your story and invest upfront in bringing your book to life. Instead of charging fees, we share in the success of your book.

  • No Upfront Fees: You focus on writing; we handle the production.

  • Fair Royalties: You retain 60% of the royalties—a significant share that ensures your hard work pays off.

  • Shared Investment: We cover the costs of editing, design, and publishing because we believe in your book’s potential.

Why This Model Works for Fiction Authors:
We take on the upfront risk, allowing you to publish without financial barriers. If your book succeeds, we succeed alongside you.

Whether you’re writing nonfiction or fiction, our goal is to make the publishing process accessible, professional, and rewarding:
