Cincinnati Book Publishing

Cincinnati Book Publishing offers an entrepreneurial approach to publishing.
Many talented authors have experienced frustration in getting their work accepted by national publishers. Cincinnati Book Publishing is helping authors put their books in print.

There is a strong market in the Midwest for local books and local writers, especially those with a quality product. We are a Cincinnati, Ohio firm, and we partner with the best local graphic artists, editors, printers, and book binders. The talent and craftsmanship in Cincinnati is remarkable, and yet prices are competitive. Working with local talent allows the authors to be involved in many interesting aspects of the production process, such as meeting with the design artist and touring the printing plant.

Cincinnati Book Publishing has expertise in all aspects of book publishing and marketing. Our clients---whether individual authors, business firms, or non-profit institutions--invest in producing their own work. We provide assistance with editing, art and design, print production, marketing, bookstore sales, direct mail and fulfillment, and will even identify and help secure funding for non-profit ventures.

We designed and executed the marketing campaign for Great Houses of the Queen City by Walter E. Langsam and Alice Weston, the all-time best-selling local book in Cincinnati book stores. Great Houses is now in its third printing.

Cincinnati Book Publishing's current top-seller is The Legal Writer by Judge Mark Painter. A first edition published in 2002 sold out. An expanded second edition pre-sold 400 copies, and will sell out in 2004. For The Legal Writer, Cincinnati Book Publishing provided art, proof-reading, and production as well as marketing services. The book is being sold nationally on the Web, by Joseph-Beth in Cincinnati and Cleveland, The Book Loft in Columbus, at Barnes & Noble outlets, The Ohio Book Store in downtown Cincinnati, by library and independent bookstore suppliers, and by Cincinnati Book Publishers (click on "Buy Books" on this site for details). We arranged excellent media coverage for both of these books, and each made the local "Best Seller" list for non-fiction.

We would be happy to talk with you or to supply additional information about our firm and strategic partners.
