Multipurpose Publishing

Multipurpose publishing is Scribe's publishing philosophy. It means producing a single body of content as efficiently and cost-effectively as possible for distribution in the optimal number of formats through the most profitable channels of sale. In today's publishing environment, it is imperative that the production process results in content that the publisher can repurpose inexpensively and quickly. Done correctly producing for multipurpose publishing is less expensive than for print only: it does not make sense to limit a book's production, or produce for single output.

Multipurpose publishing guides our editorial and production processes. It has shaped our Well-Formed Document Workflow, provides the bar by which we perform quality control on every project, and sets Scribe apart from the competition.

Multipurpose publishing eliminates redundancies, reduces costs, increases efficiencies, and increases the number of revenue streams generated by each body of content. And best of all, it empowers publishers to control their publications by developing, delivering, and archiving them as well-formed documents (XML).
