Hollan Publishing is a creative shop staffed by a team of hard-working, fun-loving publishing professionals. We come from varied backgrounds, but share a dedication to creating impressive books that provide useful and entertaining content in a visually appealing format.
Started in the fall of 2006, Hollan is a partnership between Holly Schmidt and Allan Penn. Holly has a nonfiction publishing background, in editorial, marketing, and management, and Allan was a professional photographer for 20 years. They joined forces to launch Hollan with the intention of creating books with an edge, whether it be visual, conceptual, or editorial. All Hollan’s books are crafted with care, from the initial concept to the selection of projects, models, and locations for photography, to the editorial shaping of the text, through to the design of the covers and interiors. We strive to make everything we see better, whether it is an image, a chapter, or a cover design, and to produce leading books in every category we publish.
If you are interesting in working for us, either as an author, photographer, designer, model, or employee, please see our submission guidelines and contact information.
