Picture this: A trade show is fast approaching, and you've got a hot new title with slipping production dates. An editorial assistant is scrambling to create an ARC, but Microsoft Word is the only tool they have access to, and so they spend a full day just to get a serviceable PDF. Or maybe all of your galleys go through that one in-house designer whose plate is already too full, and you want to help them find some space to breathe.
Hederis is a cloud-based book production and design platform providing state-of-the-art tools to publishers of every size. Our app is designed with real publishing workflows in mind—even entry-level staff can use Hederis to create a beautiful book ready for printing or digital distribution.
“It’s so nice to export with the click of a button, and to be able to rebuild the document with different specs to work for our needs, such as exporting a PDF with trim marks and 1-color black for print versus a regular PDF with a watermark for pitching the book’s rights or sharing pre-publication digital review copies.”
Cass, Director of Publishing and Production, Erewhon Books
