For authors ready for a new chapter
Your book deserves another chance to reach readers
When a book goes out of print, its story does not have to end
Republish My Book was created around a problem many authors face: a previously published book is no longer available, or its rights have reverted, but the author still believes in its value. Bringing that book back can mean sorting through rights status, existing files and artwork, changes needed for a revised edition, and the practical steps of preparing it for publication again.
The purpose here is to give rights-reverted authors a place to start that conversation. Rather than assume every book needs the same treatment, the work begins with the original edition, what the author has available, and what they hope the new edition will accomplish. If you have been asking how to republish your book or bring an out-of-print book back, the first step is to share its story.
“A book that’s gone out of print may still have a place with readers. Let’s look at what you have, what rights have reverted, and what you want the next edition to be.”
Marcus Costantino
Marcus Costantino approaches republishing as a conversation about the book you wrote and the author you are now. He brings publishing experience to the practical questions that arise when rights revert: What can be carried forward? What needs attention? And what would make a new edition worth creating? Rather than assuming every book needs a complete overhaul, Marcus helps you consider the possibilities, from restoring the original to refreshing its presentation, revising the content, or repositioning it for a different audience.
His role is to help you understand the work ahead and make thoughtful choices about it. Start with a book review if you’re ready to explore a path forward, or begin with a conversation if you still have questions.
A good new edition starts with a clear-eyed look at the book you have and the book you want to put back into the world.
Who Republish My Book Is For
Rights-Reverted Authors
If the rights to your book have reverted to you, you may be considering what comes next for the work.
Authors With Out-of-Print Books
Want to bring an out-of-print book back? Start by sharing the book’s history and what you hope a new edition could accomplish.
Authors Planning a Revised Edition
If the original book needs updates, a revised edition may be the direction you want to explore.
Authors Still Weighing Their Options
You do not need to have every detail settled before reaching out. Tell Marcus where the book stands and what questions you have.
How Marcus Approaches Your Book
Step 1
First, tell Marcus about the original book, its publishing history, and where things stand with your rights.
Step 2
Next, share what you have available and what you want to do, whether that means bringing an out-of-print book back or considering a revised edition.
Step 3
From there, Marcus can discuss your goals and the questions that matter for a potential republishing project.
A Note to Authors
Your Book Deserves a Thoughtful Next Chapter
I want to hear what your book has meant to you, what happened with its original edition, and what you hope a new edition might make possible. Bringing an out-of-print book back is a personal decision, and there is no one-size-fits-all answer. My aim is to understand the book and your goals before we talk about what comes next.
Tell Marcus About Your Book
Whether your rights have reverted or you are still sorting out what is possible, share the story of your book and what you would like a revised edition to accomplish. The Start Here inquiry will guide you through the details Marcus needs to begin the conversation.
