Publication
Documenting and preserving the results of a project, programme or institution.
Books, reports, proceedings, articles, bulletins
Publishing
We publish, and we also get it read.
Your work deserves a publisher equal to what it has to say. We invite you to publish with Excribe and to join a project that backs authors, ideas and works with a voice of their own. We accompany every publication with judgement, closeness and an editorial eye set on its quality, its reach and how far it can travel.
If you have a manuscript, a piece of research, a novel, a poetry collection, an essay or a project you want to turn into a book, we want to hear about it and walk that road with you. Publish with us and turn your voice into a work that lasts.

Digital products
This is where the publishing side meets what we do in technology: we design the content and we also build and run the platform it lives on.
Project microsite
A portal of its own bringing together the presentation, objectives, team, progress, news, publications, gallery and document bank. It works as a living repository for the project.
Digital library
A repository to consult and download: books, booklets, reports, articles, educational material, cleared images and infographics, with licence control.
Outreach blog
A periodic publication with short pieces: recent findings, stories from the field or from the work, interviews, and in-depth topics explained for a general audience.
Social media strategy
Ongoing production of carousels, infographics, reels, stories, facts, anniversaries and themed campaigns, with an editorial calendar and a single graphic style.
Newsletter
A periodic email bulletin with progress, new publications, events, open calls and reading recommendations.

Public participation
Strategies for the community to contribute records, observations and testimony, with the communication of the whole activity coordinated.

What changes when the publisher comes in
You stop having a report nobody opens and a social media account that posts whenever someone remembers. There is a single line of content, with a calendar, a format and someone responsible for it.
- →Greater visibility for the project or the institution
- →Open access to the knowledge produced
- →Real communication between specialists and society
- →Permanent resources that can be reused later
- →A consolidated outreach strategy, not scattered pieces
Printed, digital, or both
Scientific and cultural books published in Colombia are exempt from VAT (Ley 98 de 1993). We walk you through that side of the road too: so your work comes out well made and in order.
