Deciding how to publish your book is a big decision. Here's a quick guide to help you choose the best path for your goals.

Traditional Publishing: Ideal for authors with a BIG platform—think celebrities or those with a previously successful book. Realistically, this option is not available to most people.

Self-Publishing: Perfect for authors who have time, want to manage all the details, and need to keep costs low.

Hybrid Publishing: Great for authors who see the upfront fee as an investment, lack time or interest in managing details, and want a professional product.

So, which option should you choose? Go with the one that aligns best with your personal goals and resonates with you the most.

At Press 49, we specialize in bringing non-fiction authors' visions to life through hybrid publishing and by supporting authors who want to self-publish.

Ever wander through a bookstore, searching for that perfect book, only to realize it doesn’t exist? Here's the thing: if you don’t see the book you want on the shelf, write it.

That’s exactly what I did. I couldn’t find a book that captured my unique experiences and insights, so I created it myself. It wasn’t easy, but it was incredibly rewarding.

Your voice, your story, your perspective—these are things only you can offer the world. Don’t wait for someone else to tell the story you’re yearning to read. Take the leap and write it yourself.

Many people ask, "What do I need to know to be a ?"

The truth is, it depends on what you're and your individual needs. Writing isn't just about following a formula—it's about building and using your writer's toolbox.

Your writer's toolbox is unique to you and includes the skills you've learned, honed, and discovered through experience.

You start with basics: grammar, structure, and maybe an outline. But it's in honing and creating where you make these skills your own. Everyone outlines differently, and that's okay!

As you write more, you'll discover new methods that work for you. Maybe writing the introduction last feels right, or you need visual aids for fiction. It's all part of your growth as a writer.

Don't worry if your toolbox is small right now. Keep writing, learning, and expanding your skills. Writing is a journey, and every word you write adds to your toolbox.

What’s in your writer's toolbox? Share your thoughts and let's keep building together!

1. Grab my phone and write down my ideas.
2. Get out of bed and write down my ideas on the laptop.
3. Go to sleep and hope that I'll remember tomorrow (which rarely happens 😂).

I usually go for the first one. You?
