THE BESPOKE COMMISSION™
For the visionary who wants their story preserved, not just published. Upland Studios crafts limited-edition books and collectible print works for creatives, thought leaders, and cultural creators. Each commission is an heirloom — conceptualized, co-written, and produced through the Studios’ creative lens, ensuring your narrative feels cinematic and eternal. Clients often extend their commissions into short films, interviews, or documentary-style features on our platform, allowing their story to transcend the printed page and live in the digital, visual, and cultural space.

THE UPLAND RESIDENCY™
The ultimate literary retreat for elite creators — a sanctuary where bespoke publishing meets meditative creation. Step beyond the page to design the lives their art deserves. Each residency blends guided stillness with practical mastery — from planning book tours (virtual and in-person) to securing sponsorships, curating a dream team, building wealth as a public speaker, and learning how to present your work to publishers, filmmakers, and IP tastemakers. It is both a retreat and a launch — a place where authors become brands, stories become cultural assets, and stillness itself becomes a strategy for influence.
