Volossal Publishing is an independent publishing studio built for creators who care deeply about their work — and want to retain ownership, creative control, and long-term value.
We believe books (and albums) are not disposable products. They are cultural artifacts. They deserve time, care, and intention.
At Volossal:
We are not a traditional publisher.
We are not a self-publishing platform.
We exist in between — intentionally.
Traditional publishing often requires creators to give up ownership and control in exchange for access and distribution.
Self-publishing offers control, but often sacrifices design quality, credibility, and professional support.
Volossal was created to offer a third option: Professional publishing without surrendering your work.
We guide authors through the entire publishing process, including:
Our role is to support you, challenge you when needed, and help you create a finished work you are proud to stand behind — artistically and professionally.
We work with writers, artists, musicians, and thinkers whose projects are distinctive and intentional.
Because we are selective, we're able to invest deeply in each release and maintain long-term relationships with our authors.
THE LONG VIEW
In over 15 years, no author has left Volossal.
We believe that speaks for itself.
We are real people that you can pick up the phone and speak with.
We do real events where you can meet the authors and publishers.
We do not take just 'anyone.' We are selective.

Volossal Publishing is an independent, boutique publishing company dedicated to creating beautifully crafted books and albums for artists who care deeply about their work. We specialize in eclectic, unconventional projects and collaborate closely with our authors and musicians to produce releases that are intentional, distinctive, and enduring. Our titles are available in softcover, hardcover, eBook, and audiobook formats.
Volossal titles are distributed globally, with availability in over 220 countries and territories, including the United States, Canada, the UK, Europe, Australia, Asia, and beyond. In short: your work can travel — without being compromised.
At Volossal, books are treated as works of art. We approach every release as a complete creative work. That means meticulous attention to:
Nothing is rushed. Nothing is generic. Every decision is intentional.
Too many meaningful works never see the light of day. Fear, timing, or uncertainty can keep projects unfinished. We believe art deserves to exist — and to last.
If you don't publish it, it disappears with you.
A properly published work has a life beyond its creator.
If you feel we are a good match, we'd love to hear from you.
