      so, book twitter. an aspiring writer friend was today offered a contract by a "hybrid" publisher asking for $2500 up front for publishing costs and specifying this amount had to be made by Venmo "for security and record-keeping's sake". on a scale of bad to BAD, how bad is this?

      I did, don't worry. But the whole idea of "hybrids" as an alternative to self-publishing - hybrid meaning part indie, part vanity, as far as I can tell - seems designed to screw newbies over by appearing to be more "honest" about their model than they actually are.

          Yeah. Nice branding, very clever, but if they take $$ they're vanity, much as a sandwich with shit in it is a shit sandwich, no matter what other ingredients you add. ...ew, sorry.

          It's also hijacking the term hybrid as it's been used in the trade for a decade now, to mean an author self/indie publishing projects alongside trad contracts. Newbies will be confused, to the scammers' benefit.

          Hybrid is indie as well as traditional pubbed, not pubbed via a vanity press. There are many affordable editors, formatters, cover artists (I can give some recs) if @NaliniSingh says RUN, you need to tell them to run. The Venmo payment is telling that it is a scam.

          Hybrid sounds so much better than vanity

          Unless that money guarantees marketing, placement on the digital ARC services, and proof of contracts with booksellers, cheaper just to get on Amazon by oneself and get no sales for way less money.
