co-publishing
Shared book production
Co-publishing is an arrangement in which two or more publishers share the rights, costs, and revenues of producing and distributing a work.
In book publishing, this often occurs when publishers in different countries collaborate to reach broader markets while splitting financial risk.
The music industry uses co-publishing specifically to describe deals where a songwriter shares publishing rights with a music publisher, typically splitting royalties equally.
