Co-edition Publishing with Wordsworth Editions

Bringing Classic Literature to Global Audiences

At Wordsworth Editions, we’ve spent more than three decades making the world’s greatest literature accessible to everyone. Through our co-edition publishing service, we collaborate with publishers, retailers and organisations around the world to produce bespoke editions of our titles – beautifully designed, cost-effective and tailored to your market.


🌍 What We Offer

Think of us as the middle man between you and the printers

1. What can we print?
Customers can access our full library of classic titles – from Austen, Dickens and Shakespeare to Gothic and children’s favourites. Our catalogue includes hundreds of public-domain works ready for international publication whether that be in English or your pre-translated version.

2. Bespoke Design and Branding
We can adapt our current cover designs, branding and formats to reflect your language, style, or retail requirements. Whether you’d like to feature your own logo or match a specific aesthetic, our design team will create editions that fit your vision.

Please note, we do not sell the rights to our existing editions

3. Flexible Print Options
Choose from a range of print formats: paperback, hardback, cloth-bound or special collector’s editions. We can accommodate different paper stocks, finishes and bindings to meet your specifications.

4. Language and Market Adaptation
Our editorial and design team can work with you once you have a print ready translation which we can have typeset should you require.

5. Competitive Pricing & Reliable Supply
Our long-standing relationships with international printers and distributors allow us to offer highly competitive pricing, efficient turnaround times, and consistent quality control.

Please note, minimum print runs, depending on finish, start from 2000 units. All orders will be processed on proforma prior to production. Type setting and cover design is an additional fee.
