What Authors Want
Pricing Clarity + Transparency
You should always know exactly what you’re paying for — and how your investment is being used at every stage of the process.
A Clear, Enjoyable Process
Authors deserve to be part of the journey. You’ll understand each step, make informed decisions, and stay involved from your manuscript to your finished book.
A Book You Are Proud Of
You didn’t spend months (or years) dreaming, writing, and refining your work just to settle for something sub-par. Your book should meet a professional standard you’re proud to share.
Impact + Distribution
We’ve found that most authors' biggest goal is they want their book to make a difference. Clear distribution channels must be lined out to make impact possible.
A Return on Investment
"Will I sell enough books to get my money back?" While there are no guarantees, your book should be positioned with intention, clarity, and purpose, so that it has the best possible chance to have impact and create return.

Premium Cover Design
What is a quality book with an ineffective cover? A book that most won't pick up. Our designers will work directly with you to ensure the cover meets industry standard, reflects your writing, and meets all of your desires. Here's a few of our covers!

Package Options
We have packages for every author - the author that just needs a quick book for family and friends, the first-time author that wants their book to maximize its impact, and the author who wants to use their book as a platform for legacy.
Creative Value
We come alongside authors to position their book for impact - cinematic book trailers, websites, graphic design for social media promotion, audio book opportunities, printed materials, and more. Check out some of our books + websites here!
Highest Royalties
You read that right! Authors maintain the rights to their book, and they get the highest royalties. ZPH keeps $1.00/book. The author gets the rest. One of our biggest goals is to create a product that will gain the author a return on their investment.
Time to Market
The average time from manuscript submission to market is 4-7 months. We've been able to get a book to market in under 90 days, but most of the time, this is not necessary. We will build a timeline that makes sense for you and us!
Distribution Opportunities
Distribution depends largely on which printing option the author decides on. Author's online distribution options include (but are not limited to) Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Books a Million, Ingram, etc.
Why hybrid publishing might be best for you
TRADITIONAL
Publishing
The publisher pays all production costs and takes on the financial risk.
Authors earn lower royalties and have limited creative control.
Very difficult to access, with extremely high rejection rates—especially for new authors.
SELF
Publishing
The author covers all costs and handles every part of the process.
Offers full creative control and higher royalty potential.
Often results in lower-quality books because the author is doing everything alone—and it still requires financial investment. ​
HYBRID
Publishing
The author invests in the process while the publisher provides professional support.
Often much higher royalties, with strong guidance and expertise.
Delivers quality and partnership without the barriers of traditional publishing or the heavy burden of self-publishing.
Your book meets industry standards rather than looking like a basic self‑published title.
Often has a faster time‑to‑market than other publishing routes.
