Under the hood

Talesmith: from writing to publishing to posting

The writer's pipeline: four disconnected apps versus one Talesmith Studio Top: four vertical process boxes — Manuscript, Editing, DTP and Reader — each with its own inner stages, joined by explicit export and import cycle badges carrying a file format. DTP can export EPUB directly; a separate converter is optional. Bottom: one single Talesmith Studio box containing a continuous pipeline — Outline, Write, Edit, Publish, Sell and Read — with no exports. TODAY FOUR APPS, GLUED TOGETHER WITH EXPORTS 4 APPS · 4 EXPORT / IMPORT CYCLES Every hand-off between apps is an export and an import.
