ANSWER 4 ︎︎︎ For those wanting to potentially work together on something, it might be best to understand what this studio is /
what this studio is not.
For the Birds Trapped in Airports publishes artists committing growth in their careers to the care and well-being of their peers. We work in a model where all published authors share collective book profits, partnerships and resources with one another. Publishing within our studio is structurally designed to foster long-term care and mutual support systems between the artists we work with.
We are a very small start-up business that is entirely run by the labor of a few working class people. Though quite a ways down the road, our long-term goal is to generate payouts that equate to (or surpass) a standard minimum wage salary, so that contributing artists can stop working altogether or, at least, work significantly less. This is what all of our work is building toward. It will take time to get to this point, but the feasibility of this goal is made possible by publishing and producing projects 100% inside our studio.
With our production resources for publishing, we also offer services to institutions and individual artists on a commission (non-published) basis for consultations, presentations, design, printing, binding, and other hand-made artist book production.
