Figure 1 Publishing

Publish with Us

The Figure 1 Way

Our mission is simple: we work closely with authors and partner organizations we believe in to produce remarkable books and get those books into stores across North America and the world. Some call it hybrid publishing, others call it partnership publishing—we call it smart publishing. Ours is a publishing program where your goals drive everything we do and you are involved every step of the way. Whether you are an architect or artist, curator or community leader, business expert or executive chef, we combine your vision and our expertise to create an effective publishing strategy and a handsome, high-quality book.
