Multipurpose Publishing

Established in 1993, Scribe is an American company that provides publisher services to produce books in print and optimized electronic formats. Employing our own publishing philosophy, Scribe uses a single stream to successfully multipurpose publish. We provide workflow training and support so that our clients can achieve the same efficiency.

Our full range of services include project management, editing, design and illustration, typesetting, e-book development, data conversion, OCR, and XML. Scribe will work on a full-service or as needed basis. All our work is performed using Scribe's Well-Formed Document Workflow (WFDW), so publications are held in XML at every stage of the publishing chain from editorial to final pages.

Our clients can learn Scribe's WFDW. We train in electronic copyediting using Word, typesetting using InDesign or QuarkXPress, and e-book development. We can assist you with XML or in preparing your publications for content management systems (CMS). Scribe will help you publish effectively today while preparing you for future developments.

[Scribe is] incredibly responsive and responsible, and every deadline and quote proved to be perfectly accurate—particularly impressive as…projects were incredibly complex and the schedules unremittingly tight.
