The Universal Publishing Package

The Value Proposition for Frontlist Publishers

UPP is a great answer for publishers facing production challenges and cost overruns.
By handling the technicalities of production from manuscript, UPP frees staff time for value-building work.
The fixed per-page price (CAD $1.90 or USD $1.30) protects against slippage and unexpected costs.
On the revenue side, books will be ready for distribution on schedule through every channel, digital and print.

How Does it Work?

Upload your manuscript and style sheets and we will take it from there, providing drafts and iterations as the final product(s) take shape.
We will follow existing inhouse styles or create new styles based on your instructions.  
Each order provides:
  1. A Custom design/graphic layout
  2. Professional typesetting
  3. Collaborative refinement of the initial product through markup and revision
  4. A final sample
  5. Full proofs within a week of approval of the sample

UPP Delivers

  2. A web-enhanced PDF 
  3. An Accessible EPUB3 ready for distribution through Amazon/Kindle, Apple, Kobo, Google and others
