The two-year-old company is relatively new on the scene and is blazing a new trail in publishing. As a hybrid publisher, BQB has attributes of both traditional publishing and self-publishing. This company blends the best of both worlds by providing the elements that each lacks to create a more efficient and author-friendly system that produces stellar books. Hybrid publishers share the publishing costs with the author, which enables them to accept more books per year and to accept books based on the quality of the content and the writing and not on whether or not there is already a strong marketing platform. However, the distribution and marketing processes can differ greatly in this type of publishing house with some independent hybrid publishers using the print-on-demand method of distribution while BQB uses a full-service distribution approach to place books into entities like Barnes & Noble Stores, Books-A-Million, and Baker & Taylor wholesalers.

“BQB offers an excellent combination of what hybrid should be: fair dealing and careful consideration of their authors,” says Shari Stauch, creator of Where Writers Win.

Come to the Decatur Book Festival to meet several of the BQB authors including the smallest patriot and author, nine-year-old Cody Jackson, also known as the One Boy USO.
