Books can be published in five main ways:
- Traditional publishing: They pay authors an advance.
- Small presses. They pay no advance and avoid print runs.
- Assisted and hybrid publishing. Authors pay to publish.
- Indie or DIY self-publishing. Authors start their own publishing company.
- Social publishing. Authors build a readership online.
Some PEG members are publishers. Check the Find an editor page > Areas of expertise > Publishing, or complete the form at the bottom of the Job submission page.
