What is BLEP?
BLEP is an independent contemporary publishing house. Run by myself and Rob, as young creatives we see how difficult for people to get there work out there so we want to help creatives get their work published through editorials made by us. Or if people have their own ideas but aren't sure on how to produce an editoral piece we have the knowledge to help bring that idea to life.
We work as sort of a middle man, if people have an idea that they can't produce. We will help someone develop concept, design, printing, events and distribution. We also understand that there are business offering similar services but we understand the value of young peoples work as we have experience with trying to get our work out there so we want to be a somewhere people can come and not feel afraid of getting ripped of or being unsure on whats happening.
Considerations
Publishing editorials will be beneficial to our practice in more ways than one, by getting in contact with printers, events spaces and distributors we will be able to make good relationships and this is good for the business but it will also benefit our personal practice as we will have a better relationship with industry and this is great for getting known by all sorts of people.
By using our personal online presence we will be able to help build the brand into what we want it to be, Instagram will be our main contact point people will be able to see the kind of style and work that we are excited about and the sort of work that we are producing. This is also a great way to network with our creatives to help get them involved.
A website would also be required as this is where we would be able to sell the work easily, as well as further information about the services that we are offering.
Its not all about being online though, it is important to talk to people face to face. The ideal places for this are print fairs and small independent book stores that can both advertise what we do and sell the work we are producing.
