Coedition is, without a doubt, one of the best options for contemporary writers.

The Freedom to Decide
You are the one who decides whether or not to publish. You are completely free to make all decisions regarding your work. A writer, editor, or director cannot reject a good book on false pretexts. The only reason that we would reject your work is that it is of poor literary quality. In that case, we would be completely honest with you and help you make the best decision about how to proceed.

The Process is Quick
Most publishers work within a time frame of 18 months to 2 years assuming they accept your book. You do not want to wait this long to publish your work. A coedition may take as little as 4 to 6 months.

You Control the Process
In a coedition, you are actively involved in the entire publishing process. The editors will suggest the necessary changes and will consult with you about the decisions they make at every stage. This is a dynamic and interactive process between the author and the publisher, allowing you to maintain control over your work.

Your Work Still Belongs to You
In a coedition, your work belongs to you at all times. With a traditional publishing house, however, your book does not belong to you for X number of years. By assuming all the costs, traditional publishers gain almost all the rights to your work. They make the decisions about its design, stock, binding, etc., and they can decide not to reprint (if it is not profitable, they won't reprint, and you cannot reprint yourself). In a coedition, you are the owner of your book. You are free to submit it to other publishers or enter it in literary contests.

The Profit is Greater
In a coedition, you are entitled to the majority of the copies. You can earn 80% of the book's sale price (or 100% of the profit).
The profit you earn from the sale of your copies is yours. With a traditional publisher you would only receive five to ten percent of the royalties. If a publisher covers all of the costs, you do not risk anything, but you also do not gain anything. If your book sells for 10 dollars, for example, you will receive one dollar for each copy sold. In a coedition, if you pay two dollars for each book to cover part of the costs and your book sells for 10 dollars, you earn 8 dollars per copy (this means 80% of the sale price and 100% of the profit).

You Are in Charge of Sales
Traditional publishers do not always use the most appropriate distribution channels, nor do they provide the same priority and promotional effort to all of their authors. Sometimes they fall behind in the long catalogue lists and will not allow the author to sell the book on his or her own. The publisher that agrees to coedit with you, however, gives you all the rights to promote your book wherever you want, using whatever means you choose.

Your Voice is Heard in the Literary World
Not all authors publish in order to make a profit. For the true writer, what is most important is the ability to share ideas and feelings. Whatever your motive, a book is a personal expression that can lead to new experiences, possibilities, and opportunities.

You Increase Your Possibilities For Working With Other Publishers
Some traditional publishers like to see that you have already published a book. If you show work published by a publishing house (not on your own), you are no longer an unknown author in the eyes of the classic publisher. Coedition also helps increase your publishing possibilities at the international level and improves the chances that other publishers will respect your work and consider it for publication.

You Receive Promotional Support
Although we cover half of the publishing costs, CBH Books keeps some of the copies, the majority of which are used for promotion. We would like you to be known in mass media, literary institutions, as well as book fairs.

You Enter the Publishing Market
We may distribute our copies for sale in established bookstores in the United States, Spain, and Latin America. You are also free to distribute your copies to the bookstores of your choice.

You Will Be Included in Our Catalogue
Together with other well-known authors, you will be part of our catalogue, which we distribute through the Internet and directly to the editors, writers, translators, journalists, and literary critics who make up our group of associates.

You Can Participate in Literary Contests
Some contests require that the entries be published. You can confidently enter a book that we have impeccably edited. Or better yet, you would have the opportunity to automatically qualify for the CBH Books Award. The winner gets his or her next work published free of charge.
