About Impria
Software for the people who make books.
Impria is the production OS for book publishers — the engine that turns manuscripts into publisher-approved editions.
Why we built Impria
The handwork
Book production moves a manuscript among editors, designers, typesetters, conversion services, and distribution systems. Each handoff can mean re-entering title data and rebuilding files in another system.
What we built
Impria connects editing, cover production, typesetting, and export through one title record. The edited text, cover files, print-ready PDF, and EPUB remain connected throughout the production run.
How we think about it
The engine produces; people approve. Impria was built with working editors, and we distinguish measured results from targets. Your team reviews and approves every output before release.
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.
