Publish in one of the world’s most beautiful and distinctive languages.
BP-CROWN helps independent authors and publishing houses enter, operate and grow in the Hungarian book market through one integrated publishing, distribution and fulfilment group.
For independent authors, self-publishers and international publishing houses.
Two paths. One experienced team.
Bring one title—or your entire catalogue—to Hungary.
Launch individual titles or establish an entire catalogue in Hungary without building a local company, team, warehouse or distribution operation from scratch.
- Multiple-title and catalogue entry
- Local publishing infrastructure
- Warehousing and fulfilment
- Retail and reseller access
- Transparent sales reporting
- Scalable long-term cooperation
Give your book a serious life in a new language.
Transform your book into a professionally localised Hungarian edition and build a genuine long-term relationship with Hungarian readers.
- Individual project assessment
- Professional Hungarian localisation
- Publishing and production management
- Dedicated author webshop
- Sales and fulfilment infrastructure
- Long-term readership development
A distinctive language. A committed readership. A market most publishers have never properly entered.
Hungary combines a culturally strong book market with a language that creates genuine barriers to entry. That difficulty is also the opportunity: international titles that are properly localised, positioned and supported can build meaningful long-term reader relationships.
From international title to Hungarian readership.
Assess
We evaluate the title, catalogue, audience, production requirements and commercial potential.
Localise
Professional Hungarian translation, editing, proofreading, cultural adaptation and positioning.
Publish
Design adaptation, typesetting, production planning, printing and publication management.
Distribute
Warehousing, webshop operations, fulfilment and access to relevant Hungarian retail channels.
Grow
Transparent reporting, marketing support, catalogue development and readership building.
Not a chain of disconnected suppliers. One accountable publishing group.

Before you enter the Hungarian market.
Do I need to transfer my publishing rights to BP-CROWN?
No. Your publishing rights remain yours. Any agency, production, storage or fulfilment fees are defined contractually.
Can I enter Hungary with only one title?
Yes. Independent authors and publishers can begin with a single suitable title, subject to assessment.
Can a publishing house launch an entire catalogue?
Yes. BP-CROWN can structure multi-title and portfolio market entry with scalable warehousing, reporting and fulfilment.
Who pays for translation, production and marketing?
The rights holder finances the required market-entry work. BP-CROWN scopes the project and prepares a tailored proposal based on the work required.
When do I submit my manuscript or catalogue?
Files are requested after the initial qualification stage. You do not need to upload your manuscript or rights list in the first enquiry.
