Our Mission
Connecting People and Ideas to Create a World That Works For All—so what does that mean?
What people?
These are people seeking change in their lives, organizations, and communities. Whether they know it or not, these people are the smart, creative, compassionate leaders of the future!
What ideas?
These are ideas that help us see the world in a new way and redefine what is possible—ideas that provide not only inspiration and vision to give us the WHY but also tools that give us the HOW.
What is a world that works for all?
In essence, it is a world where we balance the needs of the person with the needs of the whole.
Our vision is emergent and continually evolving. We see the world as a place where our actions as individuals, organizations, communities, and countries embody stewardship, sustainability, quality, partnership, inclusion, and other values that support the well-being of us all. Ultimately, this world must come from all of us, working together.
We know we have a long way to go, but all of us can help the world get there, one day—and one book—at a time.

Éditeur Libraire indépendant depuis 1978, nos publications se déclinent en deux catégories.
Les polycopiés de cours, publiés en plusieurs fascicules au long du semestre, sont des outils pédagogiques au service des étudiants et de leurs professeurs. Ils accompagnent efficacement le cours magistral en apportant un support écrit utile à l’enseignement et aux révisions. Remis à jour chaque année, nos polycopiés suivent l’actualité de la matière et assurent donc un contenu en perpétuelle évolution.
Nos livres, quant à eux, représentent des ouvrages de référence, destinés à diffuser la pensée de leurs auteurs.
Notre connaissance du système universitaire et des acteurs qui le composent nous permet d’assurer aux clients de notre librairie des publications de qualité adaptées à leurs besoins, et un conseil personnalisé, dispensé par une équipe jeune et dynamique.
Le Passager Clandestin
Le passager clandestin publie des textes de critique sociale qui se rapportent notamment à l’écologie, à la décroissance, à la désobéissance civile... Nous ne croyons pas à un quelconque ordre immuable de la société. Nous dénonçons chaque fois qu’il est possible les fondements idéologiques d’un système qui se donne pour « naturel » et auquel il n'y aurait d'autre issue que de s'adapter. Le choix de l’édition indépendante, dont on sait qu’elle doit constamment lutter pour survivre, constitue, en soi, une prise de position. Cette indépendance est à la fois une condition et l’un des buts de notre activité. Elle repose sur un ensemble de pratiques et d’échanges peu formalisés, en prise directe avec les lieux et les gens.
Le passager clandestin aborde souvent des sujets réputés graves, mais nous n’avons aucun goût pour le dogmatisme et les « passions tristes ». Nos livres se veulent honnêtes, rigoureux ; ils exigent parfois un effort pour déplacer le regard. Mais notre activité se nourrit aussi de l’imagination, de la joie et de l’humour, sans lesquels ce monde ne serait décidément pas habitable.
Outre la réédition de textes anciens, nous avons publié récemment le Petit livre noir des grands projets inutiles ; un essai consacré à l’Utopie du logiciel libre ; le Rapport Brazza, document historique inédit à ce jour sur les dégâts du colonialisme français au Congo au début du XXe siècle. Nous avons a également créé deux nouvelles collections en 2013 : une collection de science-fiction, « Dyschroniques », série de textes d’anticipation écrits vers le milieu du XXe siècle par des auteurs renommés dans le genre ; et la collection les « Précurseurs de la décroissance » dirigée par Serge Latouche.
Confluences (éditions)
Les éditions confluences ont été créées au mois de juillet 1994, à Bordeaux. La première collection, La Forme de Bordeaux, réunissait chaque fois un écrivain et un photographe, autour d’un lieu de la ville. Depuis, nous avons publié plus de 400 titres et avons fêté en 2019 nos vingt-cinq ans.
S’il nous arrive de déborder sur d’autres domaines, nous consacrons l’essentiel de nos publications à la Nouvelle-Aquitaine.
Corporate Copyright
Corporate Copyright : plus de 30 ans d'expertise...
Corporate Copyright est une maison d'édition fondée en juin 1990. Elle édite principalement des livres comptables, juridiques et fiscaux. Spécialisée dans les ouvrages pratiques pour les professionnels comptables, cette maison d'édition n'est cependant pas avare de publications plus mainstream.
Mixant les deux approches, les Editions Corporate Copyright ont enregistré le best-seller absolu en 1993 en vendant pas moins de 26.000 exemplaires de la nouvelle législation portant sur la TVA intracommunautaire.
Fondée par un économiste (IAG) et journaliste, Axel Neefs (rédacteur au magazine Trends-Tendances et au journal l'Echo), l'entreprise initiale a grandi dans le giron de l'IEC (Institut des Experts-Comptables et des Conseils fiscaux) avant de prendre son envol comme éditeur indépendant avec son nouvel associé historique, psychologue universitaire de formation, Pierre Delroisse.
Depuis 2006, l'entreprise se développe par croissance externe en rachetant des entreprises de son secteur (Guide des Ministères, éditeur d'annuaires gouvernementaux et plus récemment, EasyDoc, éditeur de logiciel TVA, Edi•Pro grande maison d'édition liégeoise, LBRP, software house comptable...) ou plus éloignées (Café Central, édition culturelle), etc.
Le groupe réalise un chiffre d'affaire consolidé de 1,500 K€ et emploie 15 personnes en Belgique.

Edward Elgar Publishing
Edward Elgar Publishing is a leading independent academic and professional publisher with a strong focus on the social sciences and legal fields. We publish 400 book and journal titles annually and have successfully created a prestigious list of over 7,000 titles.
Our Vision: to be the pre-eminent independent academic and professional publisher in law, business and the social sciences
Our Mission: to enrich and support our academic and professional communities through creative commissioning and effective dissemination of high calibre content for a global audience, and by delivering a dynamic, responsive and efficient publishing service to authors, readers and customers.
Our Values: proudly independent; thoughtful publishing; putting authors first; a collaborative, long term approach to business; responsive, efficient and friendly; quality production processes and standards; a globally oriented approach
The company was founded by our current Chairman, Edward Elgar, and remains an independent family business. Edward's original mission was to create a publishing house that attracted high quality books by offering a superior service to authors and we remain focused on treating potential authors and their books with care and attention to detail. We believe it is difficult for large corporate publishers who often suffer from very high levels of staff turnover, top down management and offshored production processes to replicate the dynamic, responsive and efficient publishing service we can provide.
Edward Elgar Publishing was conceived as an international scholarly press and from the beginning our sales were derived equally from Europe, North America and Asia Pacific regions, reflecting our author base and focus on topics of global interest. Today the Middle East, Latin America and a number of African countries are also important markets.
Our offices are located in the UK (in the Regency town of Cheltenham and Camberley near London) and the US (in Northampton, Massachusetts). Our editors and sales team make frequent visits to universities and conferences throughout the globe, meeting with some 20,000 scholars each year to learn about their plans and identify academic trends and ideas for new titles that would be of benefit to our readers.
Elgar titles are, on average, some of the most highly cited books in their respective subject fields. Gaining more chapter and book level citations than our large commercial competitors and some well know university press publishers. Validating our thoughtful approach to publishing, marketing and dissemination.
Recently the company has received a number of awards and distinctions for our digital publishing and global reach, as well as for our traditional approach to publishing.*

Lux
Lux Éditeur est une maison d'édition indépendante qui publie principalement des ouvrages de réflexion politique (Normand Baillargeon, Noam Chomsky, Chris Hedges, David Graeber) et d'histoire sociale des Amériques (Howard Zinn, Frederick Douglass), mais qui propose aussi des œuvres de litérature (Eduardo Galeano, John Berger).
Le catalogue Lux obéit à un maître-mot: la liberté. La liberté de penser, d’abord, qui est l’arme par excellence pour combattre la marchandisation de la culture et du savoir. La liberté des individus, ensuite, qui est tout autant la libre disposition de soi que l’exigence d’avoir des raisons d’agir.
La liberté des peuples, finalement, car l’autonomie des uns s’accroît avec celle des autres, et parce que l’être humain n’est jamais sans feu ni lieu: son existence prend toujours racine dans une histoire et un territoire particuliers.
Avec ce catalogue, Lux Éditeur poursuit une mission plus que jamais nécessaire: cultiver l’indépendance d'esprit et inspirer les révoltes qui, comme on le disait autrefois de l'air des villes, rendent libre...
Modalité d'envois
May I submit my proposal in electronic format?
We require that submissions come to us in PDF form. All electronic formats other than PDF will be deleted and not considered. You may email your proposal to submissions AT bkpub DOT com. If you already have a draft manuscript, you may include it along with your proposal, however, a draft manuscript itself will not be considered a complete proposal. The subject line should state, "Proposal for Berrett-Koehler Publishers."
What do you look for in a proposal and how long should it be?
Our proposal guidelines can be found here. Please note that most publishers ask for the same information to be included in proposals to them, so this document and the time you invest creating it will serve multiple purposes. As far as length is concerned, we recommend not exceeding thirty pages, if possible. We receive over 1,500 proposals a year and do not have a staff member whose specific duty is only to review proposals. As such, we rarely have the time to commit to long, unsolicited queries. If you want more in-depth advice on how to write a good proposal, please head over to our Write Right blog what has many articles on what to do and what not to do in writing your proposal.
What sorts of books do you publish and how do I know if mine is a good fit with your various agendas?
Read the About Us page on this site to learn more about our publishing program. You can also browse our catalog. We look for books with a single, diving, central message rather than overly broad generalist books. If your book would fit in with the books we publish, there is a better chance of publication with us. We do stay quite focused on our niche topics, and we do not publish memoirs or books with deeply religious or spiritual message.
Do you only accept agent-represented authors and projects?
No, we accept proposals from both agents and authors and we do not have a preference for one over the other.
What are the royalties Berrett-Koehler pays its authors?
Standard royalties begin at 10% on the first 10,000 copies sold, 15% on the next 20,000, and 20% thereafter on net received. On subsidiary rights, the royalty payments are 50%, except electronic, which is at a flat 15%. Please note that all royalties are paid on the basis of net payments received. You can download and review our standard agreement here.
Does Berrett-Koehler offer advances for authors they sign?
We offer a flat $5,000 advance to each author, and we do not make any exceptions to that policy. It is a small advance as far as industry standards, but we do think that the other benefits our publication agreements offer our authors are worth considering.
If my manuscript is not complete, should I still submit a proposal to Berrett-Koehler or should I wait until it is finished?
No need to wait. A proposal that clearly outlines the work to be written will suffice quite well. Again, proposal guidelines can be found here.
What is the average timeline from proposal submission to finished, on-the-shelf product?
The entire publication process takes 9-18 months.
If I have a manuscript, do I need to submit a proposal as well?
Yes! Our editors do not have the time or the resources to read all proposed manuscripts and prefer to rely, initially, on proposals. As mentioned before, putting together a proposal based on our guidelines is generally a good idea, as other publishing companies will ask for the same information.
Can you print books on 100% recycled paper?
We do have this ability, but the majority of books are not printed in this way due to the overwhelming cost - to the author, the publisher, and the customer. On average, this service can raise the shelf price of a book significantly. The higher price point makes a book less desirable to the general consumer and can impact sales dramatically. However, we do print on paper with the highest % of recycled paper that will yield a viable price, and all of our printers are based in the USA, we do not outsource anything to other countries.
Do you publish fiction books?
No, Berrett-Koehler publishes non-fiction books in the field of business, current affairs, and personal growth.
What can I expect from Berrett-Koehler as my publisher?
Too many things to list here, but we recommend checking out the various articles and pieces on our documents page -- especially the Publishing Documents and Author Resources sections.
When will I hear back from someone following my proposal submission?
If you submit your proposal in the correct format, you may receive a response within 4-6 weeks. Please note that proposals not submitted in the correct format with all requested materials may not receive any response.
Does Berrett-Koehler offer the option of self-publishing?
Unfortunately we do not. We had a self-publishing partnership, but the program was not a success so we chose to close it down.
