Blurb® Celebrates Twenty Years of Empowering Creators

To mark twenty years of storytelling, Blurb, in collaboration with People of Print, invites creators to share their bookmaking ideas in a global contest.

SEATTLE, WA, UNITED STATES, September 24, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Blurb, the leader in bookstore-quality self-publishing, continues to redefine how creators bring their stories to life. With a robust suite of design tools, flexible formats, and seamless distribution options, Blurb enables photographers, designers, authors, and entrepreneurs to publish books that reflect their unique vision.

From layflat to paperback and hardcover books, Blurb offers exceptional craftsmanship and customization. The platform supports creators at every stage—from ideation to print—with intuitive tools and plugins, powered by an owned and distributed network of manufacturing facilities across the globe.

This fall, Blurb also marks its 20th anniversary with a celebratory campaign titled “Stories That Bind.” As CEO Tom Hughes explains, “Every book is a bridge. This milestone reflects the connective power of publishing—how stories link us to ideas, to audiences, and to possibility. In a world of fleeting content, print offers something deeper. We’re celebrating not just where we’ve been, but where our creators are going next.”

As part of the celebration, Blurb is partnering with People of Print to launch a collaborative contest inviting creators to submit their book ideas and share where they are in the creation process. Learn more at https://peopleofprint.com/blurb-x-people-of-print/.

Ten projects will be selected based on concept strength, visual appeal, and project readiness to receive free book production with Blurb. The contest runs between September 29 and October 31, 2025.

With Blurb entering its third decade, its mission remains unchanged: to empower storytellers. For first-time bookmakers, seasoned creators, creative professionals, and small businesses alike, this anniversary is an invitation to publish with purpose and to join a community that believes in the lasting power of print.
