While our package is pretty inclusive, the $10,000 flat fee doesn’t cover specialty requests nor does it include services from our Preferred Partner Network. Any work a partner does for you, is between you and them.
Invest in Your Literary Legacy with SOMO Publishing House
The Southern Hospitality Publishing Package is designed specifically for Southern BIPOC women writers ready to bring their manuscripts to life through a culturally rooted, high-quality hybrid publishing model. Priced at a flat rate of $10,000, this comprehensive package ensures your book meets industry standards while honoring your unique voice and vision.
We strongly recommend that all manuscripts be professionally edited prior to submission. However, if your manuscript aligns with our mission of amplifying Southern Black women’s voices and shows promise, we will consider it for publication provided you're open to working with one of our preferred professional editors. These editors are part of our trusted network and specialize in preparing manuscripts for independent and hybrid publishing success. Please note: editing services are not included in the base package but are essential to our publishing process—we are committed to only publishing quality work that meets national industry benchmarks.
To make this opportunity more accessible, we offer flexible payment plans:
$5,000 deposit due upon signing your publishing contract
The remaining $5,000 balance is split into six monthly payments of $835
This hybrid publishing package is tailored to support emerging Southern women writers, especially those from Black and marginalized communities, who are ready to publish with creative control, cultural integrity, and professional support.
