Co-Publishing
A Real Human Translation For The Cost Of AI Editing
You want your book in German. You don't want to use AI. We've got you.
We know how this goes. You've looked into professional translation, seen the price tag, and quietly started googling AI alternatives. We get it — but AI is the least thing your book deserves. Machine translation flattens voice, misses cultural nuance, and produces something that German readers can feel immediately. It doesn't just affect reviews. It affects trust in your brand as an author.
As a whole group of people who love books just as much as our authors, we couldn't watch anymore. And we needed to find a way to make the real thing accessible again. So we did.
Literary Queens Co-Publishing is a way to get a proper, human, literary-quality German translation at half the standard cost — with no compromise on quality, no hidden fees.
If your book takes off in Germany, brilliant. If it's a slow burn, you're still protected. Either way, you went with a real translator instead of a machine, and German readers and your concience will feel the difference.
Low Price
You pay half. We cover the rest. We split what it earns — fairly, transparently, and only for a small fixed window. After that, it's all yours to profit from.
Fairness On All Levels
You earn from the very first sale.
70 % of all royalties are yours until we've recovered our share of what we invested in the translation, then 90% until our agreed term is up. After that, 100% belongs to you — permanently, unconditionally, whether or not the translation fully paid out.
If it didn't, we absorb what's left. That's our half of the risk.
No Hidden Fees Or "Publishing Packages"
Straight forward, like you know us.
There are no other fees from us. No extras. All included. No catch.
A True Partnership
We use the same everything we use for our own titles — translation, editing, proofreading, beta reading, ARCs to German reviewers, and so on.
Our relationships in the German-speaking book world are put to use for every Co-Publishing title, because
a successful launch is good for both of us. That's the whole point of doing this together.
Stress free
We format, publish and distribute your German e-book across all major platforms. We handle the ISBNs, create the metadata, upload, pricing compliance, and throw in our existing retailer relationships.
Print Distribution
Once you have a professional translation from us, you automatically qualify for our newest and most exciting service: Print distribution!
Finally, we're making your book accessible to a reader market you haven't yet tapped into, because it's usually closed off to self-publishers.
