Single Source Book Production

Authors, Editors, Production Staff, Designers all use the same source file - reducing the potential for errors and accelerating the production time. Single Source Publishing at it’s best!

Push Button Publishing

Push button publishing is baked into Ketty. Typesetting happens in real-time — getting you from written word to final output as quickly as possible. Author proofs created at the push of a button, and final outputs available to you as soon as the work is completed.

Great for Remote Teams

Your books can be accessed from anywhere at anytime - accelerating collaboration within both remote and realspace teams.
