One of the biggest challenges authors face after finishing a manuscript is deciding how to publish. Should you pursue a traditional publishing house, explore hybrid publishing, or take full control through independent publishing? Each option has strengths, limitations, costs, and opportunities — but without expert guidance, the decision can feel overwhelming
At FortunaK2 Publishing, our Publishing Pathway Consultation service helps you navigate this critical decision with clarity. We analyze your goals, assess your manuscript, and provide tailored advice so you choose the pathway that best aligns with your vision, budget, and audience. With our consultation, you won’t just publish — you’ll publish with confidence
Every author has different motivations for publishing. Some want global recognition, others desire personal legacy projects for family, while some aim for commercial success. In the consultation, we begin by understanding your priorities: visibility, control, profit, speed, or legacy. These goals become the foundation for determining the best publishing path
Not every manuscript is suited for every pathway. A niche family memoir may thrive in independent publishing, while a business leadership book may benefit from hybrid or traditional options. We carefully review your manuscript’s subject, quality, and potential market, helping you see which pathways give it the strongest chance to succeed
During the consultation, we provide a clear breakdown of publishing models: Traditional Publishing — prestige, wide distribution, but often competitive and slower. Hybrid Publishing — combines professional support with author investment; Independent Publishing — gives you full control and higher royalties, but requires more personal responsibility
Based on your goals and manuscript, we create a tailored recommendation. This is not generic advice — it’s a roadmap unique to you. You will leave the consultation knowing not only which path fits best, but also the exact steps to begin moving forward.
Choosing a publishing pathway is not just about one book — it’s about setting the tone for your career as an author. We help you plan for sustainability, ensuring your publishing decision today builds a foundation for your future projects
