FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
 

What does hybrid mean?


We pay for everything to publish your book, you do not.

You are not paying us to publish your book. 

You, the author, invest in your book with one of our marketing/PR packages to create a platform, brand, and a 'following' for you as an author. Your book is your business, so treat it like a start-up business, which involves marketing investment.

Do you have to purchase a marketing/PR package to get published with HP?


Yes. Just like any start-up company or brand, the bigger the push, the bigger the return. Even with traditionally published or self-published authors, budgeting for marketing expenses is needed. We take all of that on for you for the lifetime of your book with Historium Press. As long as you are an HP author, the marketing package you purchase will cover your book. In a nutshell, our name is attached to your book, so your success is our success.  

Why does HP not take a percentage of the royalties?

This model has worked for us for five years now, and we believe that all authors should receive all monies due for the hard work and dedication they have put into their book. You are hiring HP as your marketing/PR team, and the fee pays for that only. All royalties go directly to the author via quarterly earnings to the author's bank account.

Why is Historium Press not a traditional publisher?

Historium Press is the hybrid branch of our company. --- We now introduce GlowWorm Press, our traditional publishing company. GlowWorm only accepts a limited number of books a year for traditional publishing. By submission to Historium Press, you have the opportunity to be discovered by GlowWorm Press.

Your book’s potential is limitless. With a focused, strategic marketing plan like the one offered by Historium Press, it can rise from a promising manuscript to a widely recognized title—or even become a critically acclaimed work embraced by traditional publishing. By choosing to publish with Historium Press and investing in the marketing your book deserves, you give it the opportunity to earn a place in GlowWorm’s library of traditionally published works.

Hybrid Publishing Packages

Anchor 1

Diamond Audiobook Package

A estimated 100,000 word - 10hr book is $5500.

 

Again, this is just an estimate - please request a quote from us at historiumpublisher@gmail.com and provide your word count in the request.

 

Turn around time is typically 6 weeks once the narrator begins recording. 

 

This package includes:

 

- An initial meeting with the Woven team to discuss the author's vision for turning their work into an audiobook. 

 

- Working with our in-house audiobook prepper to identify all the things we need to find the right narrator: character needs and identification, accents/languages, unusual word definitions or settings, and content warnings. This prepper then creates a packet for the narrator that includes pronunciations and character notes so that the author's vision for their work stays front and center throughout the recording process.

 

-Casting from our incredible roster of award-winning narrators. Our casting process is tailored to fit the author's needs for their book. Typically, we have narrators record a representative sample from the book and then based on our initial meeting, we send over a top five for the author to select from. This rate includes single or dual narrators. Duet narration is also possible but requires an additional fee.

 

-Editing, proofing, and mastering. Our engineers work with indie pubs and the Big 5 publishers alike. Authors will have the opportunity to proof their audio and give feedback before it is finalized. 

 

-Advice when it comes to distribution options and author-specific goals.

 

-Market-ready files delivered directly to the author.
