Index Production for books
From manuscript to print book and ebook. With your series' design.
One structured source for the print-ready PDF, the EPUB and the web version. Correct once and everything updates. No typesetting each title from scratch.
Free, no obligation. Send us a chapter and we'll return it typeset with your series' design.
Every book is typeset as if it were the first.
The manuscript goes to the typesetter, comes back as proofs, goes out again with corrections. And the ebook is made separately, at the end and often late.
Today, at many publishers
- Title-by-title typesetting in InDesign or by an external vendor
- Per-page costs and weeks of waiting for every proof round
- Every author correction reopens the layout file
- The EPUB is produced separately, by another vendor or not at all
With Index Production
- Upload the Word file and the book is structured: chapters, notes, bibliography, figures
- The series template is set up once and works for every title
- PDF, EPUB and HTML come from the same source
- Correct once and every format updates
Three steps from manuscript to printer
Upload the manuscript
In Word, just as the author delivers it. No special templates or prior markup.
Review the structure
Parts, chapters, notes, citations, bibliography, figures and tables, in a single editor.
Export every format
PDF for print and web, EPUB and HTML, with the series design.
Correct once. The book and the ebook update.
When the author changes a citation in the third proof round, you don't have to edit the PDF, then the EPUB, then the website. You change it at the source and everything else follows.
Fewer rounds. Less waiting. Lower cost per title.
One template per series. Every title consistent.
We set up each series' layout from a book you've already published: fonts, running heads, notes, citations and half-title pages. From then on, every new title comes out with that design.
- Setup included: we build it with you from a published title.
- Author proofs: proof PDFs and corrections in the same workflow.
- Multiple series: each with its own design, from the same dashboard.
