Writers, Designers, Thinkers, Creatives
Collaborator Opportunity — Blue Byron Books
Blue Byron Books is the publishing house imprint of Ridea.
Blue Byron Books is redefining American culture and ideas by amplifying innovative, bold, and imaginative voices
We’re a collective of writers, designers, editors, thinkers, and creatives working together to publish bold, thoughtful, and original work. We appreciate those who think independently and aren’t afraid to do things outside of conventions.
Who We Are
- A technology-forward publishing collective
- Built by Gen Z and Millennial digital natives
- Focused on books, ideas, and cultural projects that matter now
- Operated remotely—collaborating across the country via Zoom and shared digital workspaces
- Structured around revenue-sharing with equity in projects worked on and long-term creative partnerships, not one-off gigs
We believe great things are built together. When collaborators grow, the collective grows.
Who We’re Looking For
We’re always interested in meeting people who align with our mission and can execute ideas.

- Comfortable questioning existing systems and frameworks
- Energized by collaboration (ecosystem rather than hierarchy)
- Able to take ideas from concept to completion
- Willingness to make appearances on the Blue Byron Books Podcast to discuss project you’re working on, life, and book-adjacent culture
Talent matters—but so does mindset. We prioritize alignment, thoughtfulness, and follow-through.
How We Work
- We give green lights, not micromanagement
- We value initiative, clarity, and accountability
- We embrace experimentation and new formats
- We care deeply about how ideas are presented—accessible, modern, and alive
