Publisher info

At our publishing company, our goal is to do more than just publish books - we want to establish ourselves as the leading publisher of post-information age writers, artists, and thinkers. We believe that the digital age has fundamentally changed the way we interact with information, and that this transformation requires a new kind of publishing house that can respond to the changing landscape of culture and technology.

To achieve this vision, we're working closely with major distributors to ensure that the work of our contributors is sent directly to the center of the contemporary art scene. We understand that in today's fast-paced world, it's not enough to simply create great content - it also needs to be accessible and visible to those who are interested in it. By partnering with major distributors, we're able to reach a wider audience and get our contributors' work into the hands of the people who matter most.

As a boutique operation, we pride ourselves on our ability to be nimble and responsive to the needs of our contributors and readers. We're not a big corporate publisher, and we don't want to be - our focus is on quality over quantity, and we're dedicated to working closely with each of our contributors to ensure that their work is the best it can be. We believe that by fostering a collaborative relationship with our writers, artists, and thinkers, we can help pave the way for the next generation of creators.

In addition to publishing, we also offer a range of resources and services to help our contributors succeed. Whether it's connecting them with other creatives in their field, helping them to develop their marketing and branding strategies, or simply providing a supportive community where they can bounce ideas off each other, we're committed to doing everything we can to help our contributors thrive.

Ultimately, our goal is to create a publishing house that reflects the changing nature of culture and technology in the post-information age. We believe that by staying on the cutting edge of these changes and working closely with the brightest and most talented minds in our field, we can create a new kind of publishing house that sets the standard for the future of the industry.
