There are important services that publishers currently provide like editing and marketing. There's no reason that the folks that currently do that at a publishing company couldn't do that for an author as a consultant. They could work on a fee-for-service or a percentage basis. The author could retain rights to their own work. These days, the authors have to give up rights to their work to get these services. In the world of electronic publishing and distribution, this hardly seems necessary.
