How it works
Our two tracks
As our work has expanded, we’ve found ourselves operating across two very different but deeply connected forms of publishing. The common thread between them is the power of imaginative people—their ability to see new possibilities, shape meaningful stories, and bring projects to life that otherwise may never have existed.
Track 1
Musicians, bands, and artists
On one side, we work directly with musicians, bands, and artists to transform existing creative intellectual property—songs, lyrics, photos, poetry, artwork, visual worlds, and artistic identities—into books. These may be children’s books, lyric books, artist / band retrospectives, or anything that extends the creative palette of the artists into this medium of books.
How this happens depends on the vision, and we treat each one as its own project. Together, we make books that succeed creatively, let fans engage more deeply, and bring creators new merchandise revenue and new fans. The process really just starts with a conversation about what you want to do and what is possible.
Track 2
Institutional and regional documentary projects
On the other side, we are building larger-scale documentary and archival publishing projects. These books capture musical legacy and are rooted in oral histories, image collections, community memory, historical research, and collaborative storytelling.
Beyond books, these projects also create archives that are made open access for research and preservation. Learn more about how we are defining a new documentary book publishing process.

Our business is driven by imaginative people.
The biggest limit on our growth today is finding motivated, talented, imaginative people who can take ownership of a project and work with everyone involved to produce and guide it.
These projects need thoughtful leadership at every stage: early concept and funding, editing, production, launch, and finally a place in the artist’s or organization’s own communications and marketing.
If you are a journalist, writer, wordsmith, creative, digital producer, graphic designer, imaginative project manager or think your skills might be good for managing our projects, please reach out to us.
