What We Do
Melcher Media creates stylish, market-savvy books that break conventions, broaden corporate impact, and attract new audiences—what founder Charles Melcher calls “deep marketing.” Our products artfully defy the high-culture/low-culture divide to mix sophistication with popular accessibility. With more than 125 titles and 12.5 million books in print, Melcher Media has a proven track record and a hard-earned reputation as a reliable partner for any publishing challenge. We help identify, develop, and hone stories; our industry-acclaimed art direction ensures that every message finds its proper vehicle of expression and that, combined with the innovative use of materials and manufacturing procedures, every new title is unique and memorable. More and more, our projects find life beyond the printed page, through gallery exhibitions, an online presence, sound, moving image, and digital media.

How We Do It
Melcher Media produces only a small number of titles each year, consciously keeping our list manageable and diverse. Our range of services and intense engagement with each project mean that we make a true soup-to-nuts partner. Melcher Media creates proposals and agents projects. We work with writers, photographers, illustrators, paper engineers, designers, and other creative types. We source materials and oversee manufacturing. And we make sure that the world pays attention when the final product is ready for its day in the sun. Our expertise extends to marketing, publicity, and promotion, and we help build release plans to ensure that each title reaches its appropriate audience.
