Progressive Publishing System (PPS)

 

The Progressive Publishing System Web 2.0 service and API gives easy access to the new electronic book publishing platforms (POD, eBooks, iPhone, iPads/tablets, mobiles and Apps) and associated revenues.

It enables publishers to independently publish free and/or paid book content. Target clients span the professional sector of established publishing houses as well as 'non-professional' users, ranging from individuals to companies to informal groups.

PPS will look to format content into an XML-structured document, with an XML rule set for the content to adhere to and then CSS-styled outputs. Secondly, it will provide the XML metadata crucial to a systematic integration into other sales/distribution systems.

PPS is designed to function as providing a 'stepping stone' service facilitating access to other content conversion services (Smashwords, Lulu, Le-tex), together with the panoply of sales/distribution platforms existent on the Net.

The PPS proposition would be to build an initial, limited tool set that could be used within professional and non professional markets.

 

A system for the conversion, publication, management and remuneration of written content on a variety of new and existing electronic platforms (eBooks, PODs, tablets, mobiles).

 

At PPS's core is a web service that cleans content and formats it to our XML content structure, then publishes it to the relevant platforms, with CSS and other appropriate styling and metadata included.

 

Small publishers not being able to viably access new publishing platforms and associated revenues.

 

We would offer a professional and standard service. The professional focusing on the publishing industry and the second, standard service would be for us to explore the various other markets. With the non-publishing professional market we will specify this as we carry out more research into the service's potential.
