There is currently no fee to submit a publishing proposal for editorial review.
If your project is selected to move forward, publishing services will be quoted based on the scope, complexity, and production requirements of your book.
If your project is selected for publication, we will contact you to schedule a consultation. During this meeting, we'll discuss your goals, timeline, editorial needs, design preferences, printing options, and publishing services. Following the consultation, you'll receive a customized publishing proposal outlining the scope of work, estimated costs, and production schedule.
Selection for consultation does not obligate either party to move forward with publication. Final publishing agreements are based on mutual fit, project readiness, and agreed-upon terms.
Every artist has a story worth preserving.
Whether you're documenting decades of creative practice, publishing an exhibition catalog, or sharing new scholarship, Studio Art Books Publishing is committed to helping you produce a publication of exceptional quality and lasting impact.
