Launch Circle

Help bring a book into the world

The Launch Circle is how our books get made. Readers, fans and supporters commit early, before a book goes to print, and that early support brings the book and its archive to life.

How it works

Many of our books have their own Launch Circle. Sound Archive Books and the artist or community behind the book work out its levels together. Supporters choose a level, and the book moves forward with their commitment.

Levels are offered before the book is published. Every Launch Circle is different, so each project page lists its own levels.

What a level can include

  • A limited first-edition hardcover, made only for early supporters
  • Your name in the book as a Launch Circle Supporter
  • Priority access to book events and tickets
