Shape the concept
We develop the publishing idea with you and set the editorial, design, production, and launch approach early.
Publishing partnerships
We make books with partners, then carry them into the world properly.
Black Dog Press offers concept development, editorial production, design, print management, release strategy, and trade distribution for publishing collaborators who want a title to travel well.

How it works
A publishing process that stays close to the partner and clear to the trade.
Produce the book
Editing, proofreading, design, typesetting, artworking, and print management are handled in one joined-up process.
Distribute globally
Titles are released into the trade and held across the UK, US, and Canada for wider retail and institutional reach.
Promote the release
Each book is supported with sales outreach, visibility planning, social promotion, and review or press opportunities.
We always welcome new and interesting book collaborations, and we put our publishing partners at the centre of everything we do. Black Dog Press undertakes concept development, full project management, editing, proofreading, design and typesetting, as well as artworking and print management of the publication, working closely with our partners every step of the way.
The book is then released to the global trade by Black Dog Press and stocked at our distribution houses in the UK, US and Canada where it is actively promoted by our global sales team to retailers, galleries, museums, libraries, and universities in both physical stores and online.
Alongside the trade distribution, we produce a marketing campaign for each title to ensure it has the widest visibility across social media, reviews, and press exposure.
