WHAT WE DO
First Press Editions is a highly specialist publisher working with international wine producers to create authoritative books, magazines and publications which celebrate and communicate each client's brand story.
First Press Editions manages the entire process from initial concept to final printed copies. We consult with clients at every stage to ensure that each publication is unique.
We draw upon a network of world-renowned writers, editors, translators, photographers, illustrators and designers to create the most compelling and bespoke content for each project.
THE PROCESS
The way we work is extremely collaborative. First, we agree with the client the budget, objectives, writer and schedule for each project. Then we move through the various production stages - content and manuscript; photography and images; page layouts and design; proofing for approval; print and delivery.
Through our close writer relationships, established over many years, we ensure that the content will be crafted by the best and most appropriate author. That's because each and every author will be selected by us and approved by the client on the basis of the writer's knowledge, expertise, talent and authority. We use the same approach with our team of award-winning photographers and designers.
A standard schedule is 18 months from sign-off to final printed books. Thanks to our extensive knowledge, flexibility and expertise, First Press Editions will always endeavour to accommodate an accelerated schedule when necessary. We understand the importance of delivering books to tie in with significant events and anniversaries. We pride ourselves on delivering books on time and to budget.
Our mindset and approach is to be both practical and flexible. Some clients have relationships in place with writers, designers and printers. Others may generate content internally, have existing photography and extensive archive material, which they naturally want to take advantage of. First Press Editions is always happy to accommodate these relationships in order to achieve the best outcome for each client. Every book will be entirely bespoke to create a lasting legacy.
