Why publish with us?
Established Reputation
With forty years in the book-publishing business, Chronicle Books has an established reputation in the industry that is reflected in our national awards for writing, design, and photography. In the last decade we have expanded our business to include children's books as well as a gift division, and we now publish over 300 books and stationery products each year. Our books hit bestseller lists regularly, and include such runaway successes as the Worst Case Scenario series, Griffin and Sabine, and the Beatles Anthology. We partner with some of the most prestigious names in entertainment — DC Comics, Lucasfilm, Pixar, Nickelodeon—to publish their books and giftwares, and we provide distribution for a variety of visionary publishers such as Quirk, Princeton Architectural Press, and Blue Apple Books.
Focused, Experienced Team
Custom Publishing gives clients the opportunity to tap into Chronicle's aesthetic and editorial expertise to create their own publications. Our experienced, dedicated team works collaboratively with you in both the creation and marketing of projects. We understand how a book can elicit lasting, positive emotional ties to your product in a way that traditional advertising formats cannot. Our Custom Publishing division brings the spirit and creativity for which Chronicle Books is known to the products we create for a wide range of prestigious organizations.
Strong Artistic Values
Chronicle Books Custom Publishing is committed to helping clients realize their distinctive creative vision. Whether it's a cookbook, a company history, or a children's book, we can create imaginative and fresh-looking books at affordable prices. What sets us apart from the competition is our unique access to the creative resources that will make your product truly exceptional.
