Gallery Books

Gallery Books is the publishing imprint identified in the book’s front- and back-matter notices, where it connects the work to Simon & Schuster’s editorial, production, sales, and promotional apparatus. The acknowledgments recognize the people who helped bring the series to readers, while the publication statements establish Gallery Books as an imprint and record the book’s trade paperback edition and trademark information. Together, these materials portray the organization through both the labor behind the book and the publishing identity presented to its audience.

Identity and publishing role

The book identifies Gallery Books as an imprint of Simon & Schuster, Inc., rather than presenting it as an independent company. Its corporate affiliation is made explicit in the imprint line, and the copyright material further identifies Gallery Books and its colophon as registered trademarks of Simon & Schuster. These statements give the imprint a distinct name and mark while locating it within the larger publisher’s corporate structure.

The publication details specify a first Gallery Books trade paperback edition in February 2015. That dated edition notice situates the book within Gallery Books’ print publishing record; it does not, by itself, establish when or where any earlier version appeared. The book’s other back-matter references to the eBook and to the series provide additional formats and reader pathways, but the edition statement remains specifically a trade paperback credit.

Editorial and production work

In the acknowledgments, Anna Todd thanks the production team and copyeditors for their work on the series, singling out Steve Breslin and Steven Boldt. She also recognizes the Simon & Schuster sales team for working hard on the books. The thanks place Gallery Books’ publication within a collective process: the author names editorial and production contributors alongside the sales staff whose work supports the series’ circulation.

The acknowledgments do not assign each person a precise task or describe the publisher’s internal workflow. What they do make visible is the range of labor associated with the finished books: copyediting and production are explicitly named, and sales is recognized as another part of the effort. Gallery Books therefore appears not only as the imprint on the edition statement but also as part of a publishing operation acknowledged through the people who contributed to the series.

Rights and edition notices

The copyright page directs inquiries to the Gallery Books Subsidiary Rights Department at 1230 Avenue of the Americas in New York. This identifies a specific contact point for rights information in the book’s legal and administrative material. The address is presented as correspondence information, not as a description of the imprint’s offices or of the department’s broader activities.

The page also states that all rights are reserved and supplies the trade paperback date and trademark notice. These conventional publication details accompany the creative work with information about rights, edition, and branding. The imprint’s name thus serves two related functions in the book: it identifies the edition for readers and appears in the legal notices that govern how the publication is represented and addressed.

Reader-facing promotion

Gallery Books’ presence extends beyond the imprint and copyright lines into the closing pages. The eBook tells readers that it hopes they enjoyed the book and invites them to join a mailing list for new releases, deals, bonus content, and other books from Gallery Books and Simon & Schuster. It provides an online sign-up route, placing the imprint within a continuing channel for reader updates rather than limiting its contact with readers to this single edition.

The surrounding promotional matter also lists Gallery Books’ Facebook page and account, and directs readers to Wattpad.com/After. The back matter separately presents After, After We Collided, and After We Fell under an Also by Anna Todd heading. These references connect the publisher’s reader outreach with the author’s series and with online destinations, without specifying that Gallery Books operates the Wattpad page or describing how online readership affected the books’ publication. The imprint is consequently visible both as a formal publishing designation and as a name readers encounter in notices, recommendations, and follow-up invitations.
