G Editions is a small press that focuses on publishing books in the following areas of interest: fine art and popular culture, fashion and photography, architecture and design, cooking and gardening, children’s interests, and lifestyle.
Their website is beautiful, easy to use, and well organized. It is focused on selling books, and you can get a good feel for what they publish by going to the main landing page and scrolling down. In terms of artists, they mostly publish well known and established ones, like Mister Finch.
I’d only submit a proposal to them after spending time on the site and establishing that your work is a good fit.
They ask that submitters send “proposals in the form of an annotated table of contents (three-to-four-page table of contents with a brief description of every chapter). Also included should be author’s C.V. and/or biographical statement. Please note if you own the rights to the illustrations, and if not, if you have access to the required illustrations. ”
Do not submit original material. They used to receive submissions via email, but they recently removed their email address from their site. Even though they haven’t tweaked all the wording in their submission guidelines yet, they appear to only be accepting work via the post at this time.
They have good distribution, and I’ve seen their books in several bookstores.
