Tell Your Story

Bespoke publishing that puts authors first. We believe authors deserve more than a transactional publishing experience. Ami McConnell’s hybrid model is designed to combine professional publishing support with long-term partnership, giving writers the tools, guidance, and visibility needed to launch meaningful books into the world.

Why Hybrid Publishing?

Publishing should be a partnership, not a mystery.

Every author brings a different vision, set of goals, and definition of success to their book journey. Our hybrid publishing model is designed to support those goals through a collaborative approach that combines professional publishing expertise with author involvement and ownership.

We believe authors deserve complete transparency about the publishing process. That's why we openly discuss the costs of creating a high-quality book, what services are included, and how hybrid publishing compares to traditional and self-publishing options.

Most importantly, we want you to choose the publishing path that is right for you. If hybrid publishing aligns with your goals, we'd be honored to help bring your book to life.

Get In Touch

Working with Betty Fay Books was the best decision I made for my novel. This small and dedicated team not only knows this industry but also knows how to make authors feel empowered. Their kindness, professionalism, and expertise is just what every author needs. I couldn’t have become a published author without Betty Fay Books!
