What is Hybrid-Publishing

Hybrid publishing blends the best of both worlds—creative partnership and professional excellence.
It offers authors the opportunity to maintain ownership and creative input while receiving the structure, quality, and distribution of a professional publishing house.

At Divine Purpose Publishing House, hybrid publishing means you’re never left to figure it out alone. You retain full rights to your book while we provide the editorial, design, and production expertise needed to ensure your work meets true publishing standards.

We don’t take shortcuts.
We don’t simply print and walk away.

Every book we release reflects the care, craftsmanship, and connection that define our house.

Every book is vetted with intention and excellence—accepted only when it aligns with the heart and quality standards of our house.

Each story is handled with care, ensuring every title we release reflects both the voice of the author and the integrity of DPPH.


Our Hybrid Model

  • You own your rights and your creative vision.
  • We provide expert guidance through editing, design, production, and distribution.
  • Every book is curated and accepted intentionally, not automatically.
  • We uphold industry excellence through professional editing, metadata, and design integrity.
  • You receive global distribution through trusted retail and library channels.
  • You are supported by a relational publishing team that values transparency and connection.
  • You receive 70% of net royalties, while DPPH retains 30% to sustain operations, outreach, and continued author support.

Our model aligns with the Independent Book Publishers Association (IBPA) standards for hybrid publishing, ensuring every project is produced with professionalism, integrity, and care.
