Publishing with BenBella provides some advantages you'll rarely find in other publishers. Please consider the following six points:

1. Communication with the top - As an author you work directly with the Publisher on all critical matters. This means, among other things, quick decisions, minimal bureaucracy and the knowledge that your publisher stands fully behind every commitment.

2. Rapid response - We move fast. We'll almost always respond within a month to all submissions, often faster. If you submit to us exclusively, and tell us you're doing so, we'll respond within two weeks in most circumstances. And once we have a deal we continue to move fast, with no waiting in queue for years behind other books.

3. Extensive involvement - Compared to most presses, BenBella gives authors opportunities to have input on cover design, publication date, marketing plan and many other aspects of publishing.   

4. Deep commitment to marketing - Great marketing is fundamental to successful publishing. At BenBella, we don't just put marketing dollars behind each book - we provide significant creativity and expertise as well. While the author has a very critical role to play in marketing, we don't expect our authors to be marketing experts. That's our job, and we'll partner with you to design a powerful marketing plan for your book.

5. Excellent Distribution - BenBella Books is distributed by Independent Publishers Group (IPG). You'll find BenBella works in every major chain and in independent bookstores throughout the US and Canada.

6. Long-term commitment to your book - We only publish books that we are crazy about and that we believe deserve to be in the marketplace for a long time. We back this belief by putting significant time, money and creativity behind each book we publish. We also give books time to find their audience and remain committed to books for far longer than traditional publishers.
