"The genesis for this book occurred in 2003 during the Society for Photographic Education conference in Newport, Rhode Island, when we began to map out a series of articles for photo-eye Booklist..." — Darius D. Himes & Mary Virginia Swanson

The first book to demystify the process of producing and publishing a book of photographs, Publish Your Photography Book was originally released in 2011 and subsequently sold out its first two editions.

Completely Revised and Expanded! This highly anticipated third edition guides photo-based artists through the steps involved in publishing a book of their work. Industry insiders Darius D. Himes and Mary Virginia Swanson survey the current landscape of photography book publishing and point out the many avenues to pursue and pitfalls to avoid. This updated, expert guide covers: a history of the photobook; an overview of the publishing industry; the process of bringing your project to the book form (with both traditional publishing and self-publishing options); how to market a photography book (including a dialogue with collectors on the limited edition and artist-made books); unique case studies with published photographers; and valuable resources on production materials, publishing and marketing timelines.

A removable workbook helps readers address book preparation, draft submission guidelines, production timelines, and marketing plans.*

Filled with educational wisdom, the book features interviews and contributions from artists, agents, editors, designers, printers, publishers, distributors, book sellers, curators and librarians who openly share their experiences and provide advice about each step on the path to publication and placement.

With over fifty years of combined industry experience and insights, the authors also provide both historical context and contemporary expertise about the international photobook scene, including awards, fairs and grants.
