Working with "hybrid" publishers- bad for reputation?

[Jeanne.M.Bowman]

Hi everyone,

I have been away for a while, working on various things. Recently, what looks like a Hybrid Publisher, Whistleslick Press, https://www.whistleslickpress.com/ has reached out to me to see if I wanted to illustrate books for them. I have reached out to two of their illustrators to see what their experience was like, and to a friend that has her book made at a different hybrid publisher. My question is, would is ruin my reputation if I work with such a press? I'm not a big name illustrator, but I have had 4 books published with small traditional publishers and I don't want to ruin my reputation by just doing whatever jobs come my way.

Thank you for your help!
