Announcing a New(ish) Partnership

Having helped each other through weird ebook problems for over a decade (we met through the #eprdctn hashtag on the formerly functional Twitter), I have teamed up with Keith Snyder, owner of Typeflow and inventor of the EPUBulator, to deliver innovative, affordable accessible digital publishing support to publishers, publisher support organizations, and alternate format libraries.

One thing that makes the partnership work is we both know there's a huge difference between focusing on minimum accessibility standards and making books that work great for print-disabled readers. Accessibility is not a checklist but a comprehensive approach to digital publishing, and we understand that. We seek out the insights of activists and readers with print disabilities, and fold what we learn into our work whenever possible, providing reading assistance the standards don't require.

We've also worked with children’s authors and publishers to create thoroughly accessible ebooks for classroom use, partnered with a library for the print-disabled to create new experimental formats, and have a white paper on accessibility coming soon with our new friends at Westchester Publishing — watch this space!

All of this is in addition to all our books meeting the required minimum WCAG standards, not instead of.

Are you ready to convert your backlist to accessible ebooks? To smooth out your frontlist workflows? Do you have an experimental idea you'd like to talk about? Please be in touch. You're our kind of people.
