Publications should be more than data on a profit-and-loss statement—they should cultivate ideas, inspire conversation, build relationships, and connect readers to a community. This is the goal of mission-driven publishing: an approach that makes the author’s goals, values, and audience central to the process of making books. Books are edited, produced, sold, and distributed in a manner that increases engagement.
Mission-driven publishing means creating publications that are tailored to authors’ audiences. Through Scribe’s approach to mission-driven publishing, the author or organization
- benefits from Scribe’s support in the production/development of their own publications;
- takes a holistic approach to book development that complements all aspects of their mission;
- realizes greater profit on each unit sold;
- has direct contact with “customers,” allowing for engagement in other ways;
- uses all aspects of the publishing process (from development through sales and marketing) to extend their reach;
- capitalizes on larger distribution as a method to increase reach (and cultivate community engagement); and
- strengthens branding (high-fidelity valuation).
Scribe helps authors publish materials that reach and expand audiences, are available through both print and electronic technologies, and position the organization for continued success.
Publication Development and Production
Our editorial services, including writing assistance, developmental editing, and copyediting, help authors engage their target audiences. Our production services, such as design, typesetting, and ebook creation, draw readers into the author’s sphere.
Marketing and Audience Engagement
We help authors develop publishing strategies based on their organizational structure and audience and leverage publications to further objectify missional goals and foster community internalization. These efforts may include connecting publishing activity with mission growth, serving as a catalyst for related initiatives, and producing materials that aid sales and marketing efforts.
Distribution and Fulfillment
We help with printing, distribution, and fulfillment to grow a mission, increase revenue, and reach an audience.
Publishing Drives Missions
When it comes to propagating the larger narrative of missions, there is nothing more effective than a coordinated book release. When done in a fiscally responsible manner, with consideration for the full life cycle of your publications, a well-choreographed publishing program is a primary method for building and sustaining a community.
Scribe’s editorial, design, typesetting, production, and distribution services are geared toward helping you speak to and expand your audience, achieve a high level of success, and position your organization for a long and prosperous future.
Whether you engage Scribe for a single service or rely on us to provide your entire publishing infrastructure, our mission is to develop publications that further your publishing enterprise.
With Scribe, it’s mission accomplished.
