adjective

In the US, 'traditionally published' has become an increasingly common term since the 2000s rise of self-publishing and indie publishing. It distinguishes books from major publishing houses from the growing self-publishing market. In Brazil, the distinction is less emphasized, as self-publishing is less prevalent in the mainstream literary culture, but the term is used in publishing industry discussions.
