a pipe dream just came up about getting a book published of my recycling images. Its not soo much that the images or my career isn't ready , its just my delussions of grandure kind of play out in funny ways in my head about how things will unfold. I have been working on a recycling project for almost 4 years, have gotten some amazing press and awards for the latest projects, so why not right? Im back on dry sand for a few minutes and i would love to hear some feedback / ideas/ research notes from people!
reading/ research material
Mary swanson's how to publish your photo book (DUH! ordering right now)
art works- ( already reading this)
ask elizabeth avedon all of these questions!
ask all your friends who have had a book published already
questions you should ask the publisher
print run?
size of book?
paper/ cover stock?
schedule for book?
distribution?
who and where is going to be printed?
who is writing the introduction?
who is the designer?
who is the eidtor?
print on demand/ digital versions?
URL for the book?
Who is handling the PR for the book?
questions you need to ask yourself
i've got none
what's my budget?
this isn't going to make any money most likely, its just going to be an amazing promo piece if i do it right
what's the realistic schedule for a book?
what you need to know before walking into a meeting with a publisher
probably have answers for all of the above questions
what should be in the contract
look at all the questions above for the publisher!
what press requirements do I have
book tour- nyc of course, where else? book fairs?
