How publishing with Cape House worksIf you’ve written a book, odds are you’re swimming in publishing options and you don’t know where to turn. Cape House Books may be for you. Cape House Books is a collaborative book publishing company, the newest kid on the proverbial publishing block. Our goal is to financially and professionally empower and reward the whole creative team that produces our books, foremost the author without whom none of this would be possible. A variety of independent collaborative publishing business models are emerging because they are efficient, effective, and make sense for all concerned. On this page:
What is collaborative publishing? What is collaborative publishing?First, let’s look at what it is not. It is not traditional publishing, meaning we don’t pay you an advance — kudos to anyone able to land one these days — and we don’t leak book sales money to the process of warehousing, transporting, and returning books from bookstores. It is not subsidy publishing, meaning we don’t present your book amid a field of thousands of uneven quality on a website that a potential reader must know to look for and will probably miss. It is not self-publishing, in which the author assumes the responsibility of finding, assessing, assembling, coordinating, and paying a team of experts in every area that publishing a good book requires. Collaborative publishing is an option that makes sense for authors by combining the selective literary standards of a traditional publishing company and the distribution power of new technologies.
