Information for Authors



We publish under the imprint CCB Publishing. Our philosophy is that authors deserve to have their work published and be duly compensated. To that end we work closely with our authors and share in all proceeds from book sales. We offer a 50-50 split of the net proceeds of each book sold.

We are able to offer this compensation to our authors because we use leading edge "print on demand" technology that allows us to offer our clients a solution that alleviates the need to carry large inventories. In return we pass these savings along to you.

We will work closely with you to take your work from a manuscript to a highly polished and professionally presented published book. While there are no guarantees that any published book will reach the top of the best seller lists, we undertake the same risk/reward scenario of our authors.

Having partnered with Ingram Books and Baker & Taylor, the largest distributors of books in North America, we can help you achieve your goals. In Europe we have also partnered with industry leading distributors Gardners Books and Bertram Books.


CCB Publishing is pleased to announce a new distribution channel for its authors’ books. Placed primarily in bookstores and libraries, the Espresso Book Machine® (the “EBM”), a Time Magazine “Best Invention of 2007,” is essentially an ATM for books. The EBM automatically prints, binds and trims on demand at point of sale perfect-bound library-quality paperback books with full-color covers that are indistinguishable from most books on a bookstore shelf. The EBM can manufacture a 300-page book in less than 4 minutes while the customer waits. Books with black and white interiors will be universally available, while books with color interiors will only be available from certain sites. In addition to Time Magazine, this revolutionary new technology has been featured by The New York Times, Newsweek, Fortune, CNN and NPR.

Other participating publishers of note include John Wiley & Sons, Hachette Book Group, McGraw-Hill, Simon & Schuster, Clements Publishing, Information Age Publishing, Macmillan, University of California Press and W.W. Norton.

In addition to being featured at the Book Fair in London, England and at BookExpo America in New York City, there have been many EBM installations to date with many more planned. In addition to the following locations, current plans include new installations in the United Kingdom through the Blackwell Ltd. chain of bookstores, in Australia through the Angus & Robertson chain and related bookstores, as well as in multiple locations at universities, bookstores and other retailers in the United States, Canada and elsewhere around the world.

Security & Author Royalties
All titles for sale by the EBM network will be delivered in a secure, encrypted format. The network uses industry-standard cryptography that provides secure communication as content travels throughout the network. The EBM’s software assures the security of the titles and automatically tracks all jobs, so as to ensure that authors receive royalties for each book sold.
