Scribigo Typesetting
Your manuscript. Typeset like a book.
Scribigo turns your manuscript into professional print typesetting and an EPUB 3 e-book – following the typographic rules of professional book design.
Create the complete layout for free. You only pay to download the final files – once you’re 100 % happy.
From manuscript to finished book.
The result works with Tredition, BoD, ePubli, Amazon and most other providers – as a print-ready PDF and as an e-book.
Your Word formatting isn’t carried over: content and structure are cleanly typeset from scratch.

Your manuscript stays yours.
