Books that work in print, on screen, and for every reader.
Typesetting, eBook conversion, and accessibility remediation for publishers, run on our own production platforms so print, digital, and accessible editions come from one workflow.
Since 2004, more than 1,000 books for over 50 publishers.
Running head hidden from screen readers
Chapter title tagged as a heading, not just set in bold
Line breaks set by hand, with no stranded words
Alt text says what the chart shows, not only what it is
Optimize what you have. Automate what you can. Accelerate what matters.
Most publishers already have the files, the backlist, and the team. We help you get more from all three, in that order.
Optimize
Save money
Make the files and backlist you already have work harder. We repair, remediate, and repackage existing titles instead of re-authoring them.
Automate
Save time
Let technology handle the repetitive production work, from structure and navigation to alt-text drafts and validation, so your team can focus on the books.
Accelerate
Create growth
Use the time and budget you free up to publish faster, in more formats, and into more markets, including EU retailers and US institutions.

Accessible books are now a legal requirement
Both major deadlines have passed. If you sell eBooks in the EU or supply US public institutions, your files need to meet these standards today, including your backlist.
European Accessibility Act in force
eBooks sold in the EU must meet EPUB Accessibility 1.1 and WCAG 2.1 AA.
ADA Title II deadline
US public universities, school districts, and agencies must provide WCAG 2.1 AA digital content, including eBooks and course materials.
- Today
Both requirements apply to every title you sell or supply, new or backlist.
Built by people who came from publishing
Holograph Press Works was founded by two publishing professionals who saw how slow and fragmented the traditional production workflow had become, and set out to fix it.
We pair careful editorial work with modern production technology, so every title meets the standard your readers and your platforms expect.
Our story- Open communication
- You know where your book is at every stage.
- Editors and engineers together
- Editorial judgement backed by current production tools.
- Your standards, not ours
- We work to your house style and your platform requirements.
- Dates that hold
- Schedules and budgets agreed up front and kept.
What clients say
Holograph Press Works transformed our manuscript into a beautifully typeset e-book. Their attention to detail and communication throughout was impeccable.
As a publisher, finding a partner who understands accessibility compliance was difficult — until HPW. They handled everything from audit to certification.
Our K-12 content project needed expert hands. HPW delivered on time, on brief, and above expectations. We've worked with them on 10+ titles since.
