Austin Macauley Publishers are proud to have been featured in the Independent Publisher, discussing our move to the 'Big Apple' in Spring 2017, the hybrid publishing model and the advice we have for indie publishers alike.  'Independent Publisher is a monthly digital publication for independent publishers, booksellers, and authors that covers the latest trends in the publishing industry and celebrates the talent and hard work of those producing independently published titles.' Below is an extract from the article: "IP: What sets you apart from other indie publishers? How do you stay on top of the changing trends in publishing? LR: We employ a creative team hailing from all kinds of backgrounds. We’ve got musicians, artists, designers, and many are writers themselves. We’ve got an open office, so our design, PR, and marketing teams are always interacting with one another and are constantly on the lookout for new ideas. One of our best attributes is that we aren’t afraid to experiment. I think that’s key in an industry that’s in a state of such flux. We don’t just adapt to accommodate the changes within the publishing industry—we actively anticipate them. IP: What strengths and weaknesses do you see in digital publishing vs. traditional print? How does your hybrid publishing model address these issues? LR: Digital publishing involves a lot less cost, but the returns on this for authors are much less, whereas traditional print involves higher fixed and variable costs, with higher returns. Although it is clear that digital publishing is on the rise, there’s no real evidence at the moment that one is out-performing the other. With this in mind our hybrid publishing model offers authors the chance to publish in both digital and traditional formats, whether they are taken on with a traditional contract or a partnership agreement. We provide support and guidance for our authors on matters such as this and advise them the best we can."
