Multipurpose Editing

Multipurpose editing refers to the type of editing required to tap into the power of multipurpose publishing. When we multipurpose edit, we edit content to make function best within print and electronic platforms (including Web, e-book, etc.).

Multipurpose editing is the process of manipulating content so that it is clearly accessible within all types of media. This involves focus on structure, organization, navigation, information display, and modes of entry (like semantic tagging and indexing).

Outsourcing: Effective Communication

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.

The cover is the first impression that a book makes. Scribe's design services will help you to create a cover that grabs attention, and properly represents the book's theme. Scribe will also help you to develop a design that will work within your multipurpose publishing program. Thus, not only will you have a design that looks great on the cover of a printed book, but that design will function on all formats.
