Snap Collective is an innovative and unconventional publishing concept founded by Dr. Philipp Müller. We publish high quality art books without financial participation of the artist.
SNAP COLLECTIVE is dedicated to supporting artists and helping them realise their dreams by making art book publishing accessible while giving artists complete creative freedom to design their books. We offer access to a streamlined platform with the best printing partners, distribution through Shopify and experts who can edit, design and help market the book.

Our Concept
PUBLISHING HOUSE
Publishing a book is the ultimate way to stand out from the crowd and showcase the artist’s work in their own community, art galleries, and agencies both locally and internationally
Before publishing a book, it is important to test the market. That is why we start with the design of the cover and present it to the public in the form of a preorder campaign.
During the pre-order campaign, the book can be ordered for 2 weeks for 79 EUR. After that, the price will change to 89 EUR. Once the campaign reaches at least 25 orders, it will be considered successful. Then the inside layout of the book will be created and it can be published.
THE ARTIST
Artists are given the opportunity to publish their own book by investing only their time and idea.
Artists receive free copies, royalties and discounts, and can resell their free or discounted copies to earn even more than from royalties.
Be a part of reinventing the publishing industry!
