A hybrid publishing contract is a type of publishing contract that allows authors to retain more control over their work while still receiving some of the benefits of traditional publishing, such as editorial support and distribution. Hybrid publishers typically offer authors a higher percentage of royalties on sales, as well as more control over pricing, branding, and other aspects of the publication process.
