As a member of the Independent Book Publishers Association, Winn Publications LLC and our group of imprints stand by IBPA’s criteria. We have included a checklist of their standards in the back of this guide and are working tirelessly to meet up to it.
IBPA’s Hybrid Publisher Criteria includes the following list of expectations, which all hybrid publishers are expected to meet:
Define a mission and vision for its publishing program.
Vet submissions.
Publish under its own imprint(s) and ISBNs.
Publish to industry standards
Ensure editorial, design, and production quality.
Pursue and manage a range of publishing rights.
Provide distribution services.
Demonstrate respectable sales.
Pay authors a higher-than-standard royalty.
We know that when we reach our goals, it puts you and the other authors we work with in a better position. Our bottom line is that everyone on our team has the publishing experience that they desire.
