Months of handwork. Hours of software.
The production engine for book publishers.
Impria connects the work of a publishing house around every title — from submission and contract through editorial, production, publicity, sales, and royalties. The engine prepares the work, surfaces what needs a decision, and leaves approval with your team.
Why now
Book production still depends on disconnected handoffs.
Impria connects that work in one production run.
Editorial, cover, typesetting, and export often happen in separate systems, forcing teams to re-enter title data and pass files by hand. Impria connects the production run to one title record, so each stage works from the same source.
The product
One title record. The whole house at work.
Acquisition, contracts, and rights.
Take in slush and agented submissions across imprints, shape the deal, and draft or ingest the contract. Impria surfaces clauses and financial terms for legal and publisher review, then keeps rights, royalties, and statements with the title.
Editorial and production.
Run the manuscript through the right specialist editorial passes, then prepare the cover, typesetting, translation, ISBN, and metadata. Your team approves the text, the design, and the files that ship.
People and work.
Find freelancers, appoint contractors, issue engagements and purchase orders, and assign repeatable work across tasks and the calendar with the right team permissions.
Commerce and distribution.
Keep the commercial life of each title together: sales, revenue, P&L forecasts, stock, and reprint decisions. Run your own storefront and deliver metadata feeds to your distribution channels.
Publicity.
Draft the PR brief from the book itself, prepare press materials, and produce publicity graphics. Your team approves what goes out.
Academic review.
Open a peer-review round, invite external reviewers, take the committee to a vote, and issue the decision letter.
A title record should do more than hold files. It should connect the work of production.
How it works
One title, from submission to royalties.
- 01
Submission and deal
A manuscript arrives from an agent or the slush pile. Impria reads its structure, and the evaluation and the shape of the deal stay with the title.
- 02
Contract and rights
Draft the contract or ingest one you already signed. Impria surfaces the clauses and financial terms for legal and publisher review; the agreed rights sit on the title record.
- 03
Editorial and production
Specialist editorial passes, then cover, typesetting, translation, ISBN, and metadata. Your editors decide what ships.
- 04
Launch
The PR brief is drafted from the book itself, press materials and publicity graphics are prepared, and metadata feeds reach your distribution channels.
- 05
Sales and royalties
Sales, revenue, stock, and reprint decisions land against the same title, and carry through to royalty statements.
The production stage ends in four publisher-approved outputs.
