Happenstance Type-O-Rama is an independent, award-winning publishing service provider. From start to finish, inception to reception, loose-leaf to loose-on-the world, we partner with you to manage, edit, design, compose and deliver any publishing project, paper, pixels, or otherwise.
Great design. Efficient workflow. Beautiful books.
Design
Book design is a learned skill that requires a creative vision coupled with a thorough knowledge of design principles and the printing process. Our agents apply innovative and elegant ideas in a practical way so that the finished book is not only of impeccable quality, but your printer will still talk to you. Our graphic design experts meld text and graphics to create the perfect visual interpretation of the message you want to convey to your customers.
Layout/Composition
Composition is the name of the game. Our agents follow your design specs to create balanced, easy-to-read pages without a single unsightly stack, pitiful orphan, or sad and lonely widow to be found. From bibles to biographies, tech manuals to text books, and cookbooks to poetry, we blend graphics, typography, and design into a union more harmonious than gin, vermouth, and an olive.
Digital and eBook Conversion
Paper is slick, but electrons are quick! We can convert any file format into versatile, accessible ebooks that have cross-platform compatibility and adhere to the most current ePub standards. We craft custom, scaleable solutions for your digital publishing needs. Whether you need eFirst, eLast, or something eBetwixt, we provide digital products that look great and read better.
