ORO Editions: Accepting Book Proposals

ORO Editions publishes beautifully presented illustrated books with a focus on architecture, urbanism, landscape, art photography, academia & applied research among other things (they recently published a tarot deck, for example). Before reading any further I would suggest you visit their catalog here. It should make it abundantly clear if your proposal would be a good fit, as it is carefully curated and makes a distinct impression in terms of their focus.

They do their own distribution, and seem to do a pretty job, based on where I have seen their books. You can learn more about the history of the press and their founder here.

Their submission proposal guidelines are here. Please scroll past the form for their “How to Submit your proposal guidelines” section. Please follow them carefully before submitting. You can submit via their online form, via email, or via mail.

How to Get Started With Writing Essays
