Thinking About Making a Monograph? Start Here

Putting Pen to Paper

“Everyone wants to write a book because it serves as a great calling card,” the late Carleton Varney once told AD. “But it has to be the right time in your career.” It’s true—getting there requires not only a sizable body of work, but a level of notoriety to go along with it. Then there’s the question of photography, publicity, and of course, the writing itself. If you’ve ever wondered about how to join the ranks of Studio Shamshiri, Jeremiah Brent, and other published designers, I recommend diving into our explainer “So You Want to Publish a Coffee-Table Book. Now What?”

Plus, don’t miss our advice on hiring copywriters, photographers, and publicists. Then, see what the fuss for vintage coffee-table books is all about in this trend analysis from my colleague Sydney Gore, or dig into industry pro Frances Merrill’s 12 must-reads for interior designers.
