The Photobook Club Collective is an active community of 80 photographers whose members are engaged and united in the process of publishing, self-publishing and crowdfunding photography books.

​

Founded by Tom Broadbent, Holly Revell, Matt Writtle and Kate Stanworth in 2016, this diverse group of image-makers has developed into a supportive, inclusive and encouraging environment with each member having an equal voice. Crowdfunding campaigns have succeeded and books have been published as a direct result of the collective's generous community spirit, a unity unlike anything found elsewhere in the wider world of professional photography.

​

The community really began to grow during the pandemic in 2020, when Tom organised his network around weekly online calls to discuss books. The group now meets monthly to discuss current, past and future projects.

​

In 2022, the collective collaborated with the Royal Photographic Society on a year-long bookshop and talks programme. Since then, the collective has branched out into more in-person activity, regularly exhibiting at photobook fairs, including Photo London, BOP, Format, and Impressions, and presenting talks and panels while collaborating with other organisations across the photography industry.
