Is It Better to Work With a Local Publisher or Go Fully Online in 2025?

[Cecilia]

I've been searching for book publishing near me , but I'm not sure if choosing a local publisher is actually the best move. Do local companies offer better support, or is it smarter to go with online platforms that have reach wider? Has anyone here tried working with a nearby publisher and found it helpful or disappointing? I'm trying to decide which route makes the most sense. What factors should I consider before choosing?
