Become a Publisher

Artists, Galleries, and Curators will find an excellent partner in Edition One. Edition One is staffed by artists, designers, and photographers. We maintain a commitment to excellent image quality and craftsmanship, which sets us apart from most short run and on demand book providers. If you want to check out our quality products, please contact us to request some samples.

Artists interested in producing unique promotional pieces as well as those looking to self-publish their work, will find that Edition One's customization options allow their work to shine. Unique work should be presented in a unique package - off the shelf template based books just don't cut it. We’re happy to assist with design and marketing ideas, or help artist's design their own books.

Gallery managers know very well how few gallery visitors actually buy the work they display. Books offer additional income, and help move the artist’s career forward too. Adding custom artist's books, and top-end catalogs to gallery offerings will help the bottom line. Edition One allows smaller galleries to reap the benefits of publication, without commiting to the high minimum quantities and costs of traditional printing and binding.

Affordable limited edition books are now possible. By working with Edition One, a gallery can publish a limited run of high quality art or photography books to coincide with openings and traveling shows. For example, a gallery could self-publish 200 hardcover copies of a photographer's work, have the her sign every one, and then sell the books for a healthy profit. As the distribution of the books Edition One makes is controlled by the client, there is no risk of online outlets selling the same book at cut-rate prices. Best of all, the work showcased in the book will help to sell more prints through increased exposure.
