Founded in the mid-1970s, Art-to-Art PaletteBooks (AAPB) has a history rooted publishing. Originally established as a dedicated platform for publishing and supporting a variety of artistic and literary endeavors, AAPB joined a multi-faceted family of imprints: Art-to-Art PaletteCards (AAPC), Art-to-Art Palette Journal (AAPJ), Art-to-Art Palette (AAP), and the inspiring national educational initiative, Art-to-Art: Building Friendships Through Art (1986-2006). As we embraced the digital age, our family continued to grow with AAP Digital Network (AAPDN), NorthWest Passage Record (NWPR), Palette News Arts Network (PNAN), Art-to-Art Palette NewsWire (AAPNW), and Art-to-Art Marketplace Guide (AAMG).
Our Mission
The primary goal of Art-to-Art PaletteBooks is to transform your finished work(s) into recognized market-ready achievements via our grassroots ways to ensure your work stands out in today’s competitive landscape—whether on a national stage or reaching global audiences.
What We Offer
Publishing Support & Production: Once your manuscript or artwork is finalized and received in-house, we provide formatting and layout services tailored to your specifications. Whether your project is a softcover, hardcover, or e-book (ePub), we prepare your creation for the marketplace to detail.
Collaboration: We work closely with you to ensure your vision and voice is preserved. From selecting font styles, book sizes, and formatting preferences, to incorporating images—whether embedded within text or as standalone art—we handle the technical aspects to bring your project to life.
Digital & Print Approval: Before final publication, creators review and approve digital proofs to ensure every aspect meets pre-press. Once approved, your work is ready for printing and digital distribution, seamlessly transitioning into the marketplace. These pre-press services for all vary upon production season.
Additional Services
Marketing & Distribution: Beyond pre-press production and recognizing that every project is unique, there is more important steps to be considered entering a highly competitive marketplace; those being, making your creation(s) aware of its arrival. We will suggest a range of optional promotional campaign services to maximize your work’s impact.
Our Commitment
At AAPB, we believe that creating art and literature is just the beginning. Our commitment extends beyond production—helping your work find its audience and making a meaningful impact in the marketplace. We provide transparent pricing plans before any final agreements, ensuring you know exactly what to expect, as your partner, in bringing your creative vision to life and guiding it toward the recognition it deserves.
