A New Approach to Hybrid Publishing: Collective Author as Publishing Partner Program

We’re hybrid—and proudly so. That means you contribute to the publishing costs, but unlike vanity presses, you retain creative control and receive professional support that honors your vision. Southern Momentum Publishing House does not make a profit from simply publishing your book. If your books don’t do well, we don’t make any money… just like trade publishing companies.

What makes us different from all the other hybrid publishers out there?
You have the power to actually lower your contributing cost by leveraging your talents. If you’re skilled in editing, marketing, design, coaching—or anything that supports our author collective—you can receive credit at industry-standard rates towards getting your book published with SOMO Publishing House.

Once we’ve accepted your manuscript, we give you the opportunity to take advantage of our new Collective Author as Publishing Partner Program. After completing our comprehensive SOMOPUBHOUSE Skills Inventory, we’ll collaborate to shape a publishing plan that reflects your gifts and our shared vision.

Minimum author investment: $3,600.00
This covers all essentials—ISBNs, copyright, distribution setup, and third-party reviews (like Kirkus), contracts, and LCCN.
