About Us
ASA Publishing Corporation is a unique hybrid outsourced book publisher-for-hire offering all clients the ability of full book publishing and media marketing on multiple levels. ASA is an IBPA guideline-qualified hybrid that also provides free self-help tools, with the assistance of schools and libraries worldwide for literary education. As a historical outsource landmark, ASA Publishing Corporation became the first book publishing house in Westland, Michigan, establishing a landmark, settled as the first book publisher in Monroe, Michigan, and among one of the original first three hybrids ever developed in US history.
Mission Statement
Our mission statement is to help authors reach their publishing potential by providing a unique full book publishing service. We offer the services of a traditional publisher while allowing clients to retain all rights to their work. We emphasize teamwork, innovation, and quality. Our corporation aims to help authors evolve their book's journey.
In 2003, the founder was traveling and teaching about book publishing, unaware that he would be pioneering hybrid book publishing services and serving as an assisting literary agent to authors. It was in 2005 when ASA Publishing Company established itself as a non-profit company (MDLEG - Mich File Record), soon to transition into becoming ASA Publishing Corporation, a hybrid book publisher, opening its doors as a for-profit corporation (reference: Monroe Business News). Hybrids were not recognized as an official existing stand-alone entity until after 2010 according to Wikipedia (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/hybrid_publishing). It was an undetermined and grueling battle to determine what is a hybrid exactly, vanity, subsidy, or a self-publishing entity, until the IBPA among other literary associates came to a ruling conclusion with IBPA Guidelines for the meaning of being a hybrid publishing house.
Thus, ASA Publishing Corporation was long before established, but just not recognized because it was a new territory in the literary industry.
Back then, there was never a timeline for hybrids, nor any guidelines from the IBPA, because this type of creative publishing house never existed.
During that time, our 15% royalties were higher than the traditional 4-7% royalties. In full book publishing service, traditional publishers purchase rights for a time period - we allow authors to maintain full 100% rights while still receiving that same full publishing service.

ASA Publishing Corporation is an American hybrid publishing house based in Monroe, Michigan. The company originated in 2003 as ASA Publishing Company, a nonprofit organization assisting authors, and was reorganized in 2005 as a for‑profit hybrid publisher under the name ASA Publishing Corporation. The company was recognized for adopting a hybrid publishing model several years before the term “hybrid publishing” was formally defined within the U.S. publishing industry.
History
ASA Publishing Corporation traces its origins to 2003, when founder Steven Lawrence Hill Sr., a Christian minister, USAF Veteran, and being a Black Owned Entrepreneur pioneered and established ASA Publishing Company as a nonprofit entity focused on supporting emerging authors in 2005. By 2007, the organization transitioned into a for‑profit corporation under the name ASA Publishing Corporation, adopting a publishing model that combined professional editorial and production services with author‑funded participation. Local business records and regional reporting, including Monroe Business News, documented the corporation’s establishment in Monroe, Michigan.
During the early 2000s, hybrid publishing was not yet formally recognized as a distinct category. Industry discussions throughout the decade often grouped emerging hybrid models with vanity, subsidy, or self‑publishing services. Formal recognition of hybrid publishing did not occur until the 2010s, when organizations such as the Independent Book Publishers Association (IBPA) issued guidelines defining hybrid publishers and distinguishing them from other publishing models.
Because ASA Publishing Corporation adopted hybrid practices prior to the establishment of industry definitions, the company is considered part of the earliest wave of hybrid publishers in the United States. Its early adoption of a hybrid model predates the IBPA’s formal criteria and the broader industry acknowledgment of hybrid publishing as a standalone category.
Media Expansion
In 2011, ASA Publishing Company expanded into digital broadcasting with the creation of ASAPubNews, a YouTube‑based media channel featuring book‑related news, author highlights, and literary programming. The channel’s early broadcasts included promotional trailers and media segments produced as part of ASA’s outreach and educational initiatives.<sup>[source: APN TV Media Multiplex | Entertainment ]
ASAPubNews later evolved into APN TV Media, a broader multimedia platform incorporating entertainment, interviews, and educational content. The brand continued to expand, ultimately developing into APN TV Multiplex, a multi‑channel digital network featuring diverse programming across literature, entertainment, inspiration, and educational media.
The 2011 ASAPubNews trailer remains publicly accessible on YouTube and serves as one of the earliest documented media projects associated with the company.<sup>[source: Media Trailer - The Making of ASAPubNews Television Broadcast 2011 ]
