WHAT MAKES US STAND OUT

PROPRIETARY TOOLS

We create our own alternative editing instruments offering a larger number of options and more powerful possibilities than the typical tools.

MULTILINGUAL COMMUNICATION

We aim to enjoy easy and effective communication with everyone, no matter what their first language might be; that’s why we’re working hard to become a multilingual company. In fact, we’re already fluent in four languages and there’s more to come!

TECHNICAL COMPLEXITY

We specialise in technically complex layouts and unusual requirements. We welcome these kinds of challenges as a way to hone our expertise!

ONE-STOP SHOP

We’re capable of composing any kind of book for every type of media—print, mobile devices, all learning platforms. From cover to cover, Have a Book can coordinate any publishing concern and tackle any book-related task.
