3Knots Digital Get Started

Publishing

eBook publishing.

Digital publishing desk work: market-ready covers, interior layout, author platforms, and US-hour operations so a catalog does not wait on a time zone.

The practice

Covers, interiors, and publishing ops.

We treat publishing like a product. Covers, interiors, author sites, and night-shift coverage sit on one calendar — so an international desk keeps moving when the US market is awake. Print and digital files come from the same system.

Genre first. The one image the cover must win in a retailer grid. Interiors that hold in print and on glass. Author or publisher tools when the desk needs more than files. Weekly proofs. US-hour coverage so the catalog does not sit because a time zone is asleep.

A pub date is a product. The catalog does not wait on a time zone.
  • Market-ready covers for print and digital catalogs.
  • Interior layout from the same system as the cover.
  • Author platforms when the desk needs more than files.
  • US-hour ops so the pub date does not slip on a time zone.
