Visual Editions is a London based book publisher. We believe that books should be as visually interesting as the stories they tell. That's why we publish literary fiction and non-fiction books that are as visually breathtaking, and compelling as the writing is.
We call it visual writing.
Our great looking stories are by writers you may already know, emerging writers and visual writers whose work has been published before.
Visual writing could be having fun typographically, using illustrations in ways we've never imagined or completely breaking down our ideas of what a book might be. Or better: it could be something we haven't seen or read yet. Either way, we make sure the writing feeds into the visual and the visual feeds into the writing. Always.
Great looking stories.
Visual Editions.
VE started to grow in early 2009. It was started by Anna Gerber and Britt Iversen.
We have all sorts of ideas for books we plan to publish. One thing's for sure, our plan is to always publish our books in pairs. So every six months or so, you can expect to see two new VE titles. Here's what we have lined up so far.
