Publishing for Artists Who Want to Stay Artists

Creative
Freedom
Artistic
Ownership

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.

Who We Are

Our Model

At Volossal:

  • Authors retain 100% ownership of their work
  • Creative decisions are made collaboratively
  • Projects are curated, not mass-produced
  • Relationships matter more than volume

We are not a traditional publisher.
We are not a self-publishing platform.

We exist in between — intentionally.

Why We Exist

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.

What We Do

We guide authors through the entire publishing process, including:

  • Editorial development
  • Interior design and typography
  • Cover design and photography
  • Production and formatting
  • Worldwide distribution

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.

Who We Work With

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.

A Boutique Publishing Studio

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.

Worldwide Reach

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.

Craft Above All

At Volossal, books are treated as works of art. We approach every release as a complete creative work. That means meticulous attention to:

  • Editing
  • Interior layout and typography
  • Cover design and photography
  • Production and mechanical details

Nothing is rushed. Nothing is generic. Every decision is intentional.

Contact Us

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.
