Check the copyright page of your book. Whose name is next to the ISBN?
If a publisher supplied it, the publisher is on record as the publisher of your book. Take the book somewhere else later and that ISBN stays behind.
The same goes for the files. Some authors only find out at relaunch time that the cover, the layout and the ebook belong to someone else, and the way out is to pay for them again.
So here is how we set it up. You open your own KDP and IngramSpark accounts, and the money goes straight to you. We recommend your own ISBNs for every print edition. The cover, the interior files and the ebook are yours when we finish, and they stay yours if you ever work with someone else.
We take no royalty on the books we produce. You pay for the work you choose, and the book is yours, in every format and language.
It isn't for everyone. We take a few authors at a time, writing on money, economics or freedom.
Two packages, €4,900 and €8,900. For that money I don't know a more complete white-glove service.
If your manuscript is finished or close, 15 minutes is enough to scope it. Link in the first comment.

There are 4⃣ types of publishing:
1⃣ Traditional - publisher pays to produce + low royalties
e.g.
Penguin Random House
2⃣ Hybrid - publisher charges the author for production.
Royalties go to author but publisher benefits from sales.
e.g.
Konsensus Network
3⃣ Vanity - publisher charges the author for production.
Royalties go to author. Publisher does not have a vested interest in sales.
e.g. Austin McCauley.
4⃣ Self-author contracts professionals to help publish and front costs.
Author receives royalties.

For new authors, the route to traditional publishing is long and the chances are slim. Still, it might be worth trying.
One major problem is vanity publishers masquerading as hybrid publishers. Most of these companies charge authors north of $10k and don't care if the book sells a single copy. The author is the product.
At Konsensus Network 📚, we traditionally publish a few titles each year.

We mainly serve authors as a hybrid publisher. There are too many books in the bitcoin and freedom space coming out for us to fund them all!
Still, we strongly rebuke vanity presses. They often prey on new writers and don't help them find readers.
We only accept books whose mission aligns with ours - spreading freedom.
That's why we help our authors with launch plans and marketing through our network. Managing the whole project (with their input) also frees up time for authors.
If authors have the time to learn and reiterate, self-publishing can be the better option.
Hope that clears things up.

Do you have a book project in the freedom space?
(privacy tech, libertarian values, Austrian economics, bitcoin)
I want to hear about it!
