Angela Engel

When Angela Engel launched The Collective Book Studio, she wanted to build a different kind of publishing business—one that adhered to the author’s vision every step of the way. Her experience in traditional publishing allows her to introduce beautiful books into the world, and she brings her passion for reading and sharing new ideas into every new project she undertakes. Angela grew up in Minneapolis, Minnesota and now calls Oakland, California home. For many years, she worked in sales and marketing for nationally known category leaders in publishing, including Chronicle Books, Cameron + Company, Dwell Studio, and Moleskine. Now, as founder of The Collective Book Studio, she has the opportunity to provide authors the support they need to get a book out into the world, from start to finish. In her (very little) spare time, she loves running and cooking. She lives with her three wonderful daughters and her equally wonderful husband, Dan.
