As another possibility, I think a hybrid publisher might be an option for you – one of several new models that is evolving given the challenges of publishing today. One publisher in particular could be a fit - Morgan James Publishing (
www.morganjamespublishing.com). They are not a self-publisher – they publish about 150 books a year. They take care of many of the responsibilities of a traditional publisher, but allow the author to maintain more control and higher royalties. In exchange, the publisher does not pay an advance and requires each author to purchase 2500 copies of the book over the life of the publishing contract (at print cost plus $2/book). I don’t know that your book would be a fit for them, but it might be. I would be happy to introduce you to the founder at Morgan James, David Hancock.
Another option to look into might be Balboa Press (
www.balboapress.com). They are the newly created self-publishing arm of Hay House. Balboa does a good job with their titles and every book is reviewed by the president of Hay House. The strongest titles from Balboa are brought over and republished through the traditional arm of Hay House, which is a big bonus. Balboa also offers the same marketing opportunities that Hay House has created – another good bonus for authors. I would be happy to make an introduction here as well, if you wish.
