§ The Platform
One book. Six lives.
A publisher ships a book. A platform grows an idea. At CBH, every title is architected from day one to move across six formats over six years — from the hand-bound hardcover to the syllabus, the podcast, the district partnership, and, eventually, the screen.
Life 01
The Book
An idea meets a manuscript, a manuscript meets a bindery, a bindery meets a hand.
Life 02
The Audio
Every title becomes a voice — audiobook, podcast, and long-form conversation.
Life 03
The Studio
The author steps into the classroom. The book becomes a cohort course.
Life 04
The Translation
The idea crosses a border, a language, a diaspora — and starts a second life.
Life 05
The District
A district sponsors the book. A state library deposit-copies it. A story is preserved.
Life 06
The Screen
Series, film, comic, syllabus. The book leaves the shelf and enters the culture.
§ The Manifesto
Why we exist.
Conlang Book House exists to publish books that outlast the moment they are written in. We do not chase the news cycle. We chase the archive.
Founded to serve a country that has stories at every scale — from the boatman’s son at Rameswaram to the youngest president of a national party — CBH is a modern publisher built on old principles: rigour in reporting, restraint in prose, permanence in binding.
But we are not only a publisher. We are the infrastructure between an idea and the century it belongs to. A CBH title is a book, then an audiobook, then a course, then a translation, then a district partnership, then a screen. Six lives. One idea. One archive.
We publish across four imprints, three tracks, and one very high bar. And we do so from Bharat, for the world.
§ How We Publish
The house principles.
01
Genre-Blend, Not Genre-Bind
We tag books by the ideas they blend, not the shelf they were born on. A political biography can also be an economic history.
02
IP, Not Just ISBN
Every title is tracked across twelve revenue surfaces — book, ebook, audiobook, film, course, translation, merchandise, and more.
03
Editorial Board, Not Algorithm
No title enters the CBH list without unanimous editorial board approval. No exceptions.
04
Bharat First, World Ready
We publish from India, source in India, and translate for the world. Every deluxe hardcover is bound in Delhi.
