Quiet Press

A plain page with a cursor and very little else: no alerts, a few controls, and the book taking shape behind it.

A plain page, a cursor and very little else. Quiet Press is a writing and publishing room built around a calm nervous system: few controls, no alerts, nothing asking for attention while the work is done. Readers can follow a book, keep annotations and send a note to the author. Licensed as a white label, it wears your name, your domain and your colours, and holds its books in its own database. It is being prepared and can be shaped with you.

Quiet Press is the house's name for it. Under licence it takes yours. The people who use it see your name at the top, your domain in the address, your colours on the page, and never the house's.

• Your nameThe app is introduced as yours, on every screen they open.
• Your domainIt answers at an address you hold, so the link you give is the link they keep.
• Your recordsWhat your people write in it is kept in a database of its own, as yours, not pooled with anyone else's.

It is being finished. It can be finished with you, so that the version you carry is shaped by the people it is for.

• Books and articles
• Reader annotations and progress
• Collections
• Notes from readers
• Breathing pauses

Authors, small presses and writing teachers.

Read beside the field it serves, the school, the press and the author: A book that can be taught, under your imprint, in a room that reads like one.

It was made beside the house's own press, which sets its books as issues of a magazine and keeps them in print for good.

The books it was made beside are kept in The Library, to be read before any conversation, so the voice the app speaks in is known first.

1. Read from The Library, so the voice behind Quiet Press is known before anything is asked.
2. See Quiet Press beside the apps chosen with it for your field, below.
3. Request a conversation. A few lines are enough: your name, your practice, and which app.
4. The fitting: Quiet Press shown wearing your name and your colours.
5. The terms, in sentences: what you keep, what it costs, and how you would leave.
6. Live on your domain, with your people's records in a database of its own.

The terms are set in conversation with Ammanuel and written in sentences, never on this page.
