Thank you for your submission!
As the technology for making a book is now widely available, and the cost of making a book has dropped to a level of affordability, more artists and independent publishers are producing artists' books. However, these self-publishers often have no distribution network for their production. Regency Arts Press Ltd. has created
Open Book as a service to address this need.
To submit your book for possible inclusion in OPEN BOOK, please complete the
email form and submit to openbook@regencyartspress.org with:
- Image of the book's cover
- Three interior images from the book
All images MUST BE no larger than 1MB in file size each; they should have a width of 500 pixels and be in jpg format. Any images not fitting these guidelines will not be considered.
You will be notified by email if your book has been chosen for OPEN BOOK. Many thanks for your interest in OPEN BOOK and Regency Arts Press Ltd.
Artists who work in book form and independent publishers are invited by Regency Arts Press Ltd. to share their production and process by submitting their book to be included in this online interactive catalog.
Open Book will then target a broad range of audiences including art book curators, vendors, publishers and critics, in addition to artists, dealers and other interested viewers.
Regency will not be involved in selling or distributing these books; rather, the Open Book catalog will function as an agent or intermediary by gathering and curating the material, assertively marketing it to a focused audience of book professionals, and fostering connections between interested parties and the self-publishers. The catalog will be easily accessible and searchable by a wide variety of factors (i.e. theme, size, materials, etc.). Should anyone be interested in contacting the artist directly, Regency will provide to the interested party all necessary contact information.
Our first open call for possible inclusion in
Open Book was held recently at the X Initiative in Chelsea; reviewing books at that event were:
- David Senior, Bibliographer, Museum of Modern Art
- Deirdre Lawrence, Principal Librarian, Brooklyn Museum of Art
In the coming weeks, guidelines will be posted for self-publishers to submit their books electronically. Please check our website again soon, or email
openbook@regencyartspress.org with any questions.
