The CDES Publishing program can offer a tremendous advantage to the new or established author with a modest reader base.

Some of the Benefits:

#1. You split the costs and the net revenue with the publisher - fair and square 50%-50%; you directly participate in design and marketing decisions, and you will have access to regular reports showing how your book is doing, with sales and profit/loss statements. Checks are mailed or direct deposit transfers are made on, or before, the 7th of the following month.

#2. Each author and book that CDES Publishing accepts into this program is a substantial investment for our company. We are NOT a large, publicly traded company where you will get lost in the shuffle. Most editorial, formatting, and book design decisions are made in a collaborative manner. While the publisher does have the final word - it’s seldom an arbitrary decision.

#3. When we accept an author into the Joint Publishing program - we are committing to your creative work. We view our business as being one of helping an author’s voice have the opportunity to be heard on almost any topic and from a wide range of perspectives. We are not in the business of selling loaves of bread.

#4. We are a substantially lower cost option than going it alone self-publishing via vanity press/coffee table book publishers. We ensure that your book is properly registered with the copyright office, the Library of Congress, has a legitimate ISBN imprint, includes an appropriate EAN compatible bar coding, and we handle several other elements of book publishing that, for the average author, makes going it alone and self-publishing a nightmare with a painful learning curve.
