About

Stranger Pages releases publications that exude a sense of strangeness and emerge from unconventional voices. Embracing the unusual and the outsider, our aim is to amplify perspectives that might otherwise fade into obscurity.

We create a platform for vibrant, unconventional visions, with each piece we publish testifying to the power of the unfamiliar. Stranger Pages doesn’t produce art catalogues; we produce art publications, where the book becomes a work in its own right.

We run on a 50/50 model: production costs are split equally between Stranger Pages and the artist, and profits are shared the same way. Every book sold puts 50% directly into the hands of the artist, and the other 50% goes back into the press—so we can keep putting out more work, and keep doing it on our own terms.

Stranger Pages is for-profit, but we’re not here to squeeze artists—we’re here to create value and give it back to them. Profit isn’t the goal; sustainability is. We want to build something that lasts, and that actually benefits the people making the work.

We have a particular desire to collaborate with artists from working-class backgrounds—not because we want to exclude anyone else, but because these voices have been historically underrepresented and structurally shut out. In the UK, only 8% of artists come from working class backgrounds, according to research from ArtsHub, The Guardian, and others. That means the vast majority of what gets published reflects a limited slice of experience shaped by access, money, and networks.
