Books can be published in a few different ways, depending on your goals as an author. Traditionally, books are published through established publishing houses, where you usually need a literary agent and a strong manuscript. This route can be competitive and time-consuming but offers broad distribution and editorial support. On the other hand, many authors today choose self-publishing because it gives them full creative control, faster turnaround, and better royalties. Platforms like Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP), IngramSpark, and Barnes & Noble Press allow authors to publish their books digitally and in print with ease. There’s also a growing space for hybrid publishing—a blend of traditional and self-publishing—where professional services are offered while the author retains more control and rights. If you’re not sure where to begin or want help with writing, formatting, publishing, and even marketing, services like Ghostwriting Galaxy offer end-to-end support to help you get your book published professionally and successfully.
