08/11/2022 – Easypress announces their latest release of its editorial publishing software product Atomik eStylist v3.3

Easypress are delighted to announce the next version of its editorial production platform Atomik eStylist. Atomik eStylist is an editorial productivity tool, which has been developed by Easypress directly with a number of leading UK & US publishing clients.

Atomik eStylist is designed to reduce manual labour at the early stages of book production by allowing an author's MS Word manuscript to be styled quickly and consistently. A well-styled manuscript speeds up the book production process and results in a better quality print-ready PDF.

The launch of Atomik eStylist v3.3 is a significant step forward in smarter production support for both editorial and production teams.

There are a number of key new features in this release of Atomik eStylist. They are:

Firstly, Atomik eStylist provides advanced support for manuscripts which contain inline images, tables, footnotes and endnotes. These improvements are essential for more complicated non-fiction book layouts containing complex formatting. Images can be pre-configured prior to book production, swapped with better resolution images and aligned on the page to allow text flow around the image. This styling feature removes the need to hand place images and laboriously style tables.

Secondly, for the first time book styling genres can be shared amongst editorial teams to allow the consistent application of house styles. In this way, publishers can ensure and manage the use and adoption of common styling across single or multiple imprints.

Finally, for the first time, Atomik eStylist supports the use of ALT TXT in digital objects in the manuscript, such as images. With the increasingly rapid movement by publishers towards providing accessible digital content within a manuscript, Atomik eStylist can allow editorial and production teams to add, or improve ALT TXT description on the fly.

James Macfarlane, Easypress' CEO, commented on the release of Atomik eStylist v3.3: "Easypress has continued to listen carefully to its publishing clients on the productivity improvements needed in the early stages of the editorial production process. Faster, less repetitive and more consistent manuscript styling is the goal for Atomik eStylist". James Macfarlane commented further by saying, "I am particularly impressed with the smarter features being built into Atomik eStylist. Our development and production teams are working with Easypress' clients to create a truly standout editorial production platform". To conclude, James Macfarlane said, "Our industry is facing many new challenges, both economic and as a result of the drive towards accessibility, which will become legally mandated here in Europe by the middle of 2025 - Easypress will continue to develop innovative new technology to support this rapidly changing landscape".
