Reimagining the Vendor-Publisher Service Relationship: The Case for Vested Publishing Services

Newgen Knowledge Works is known around the academic publishing world for its array of services ranging from online typesetting, workflow management, content conversion platform, and digital distribution services. But did you know that Newgen can provide critical support in every aspect of the modern publishing house, including commissioning and acquisitions, website development and design, digital delivery platforms for ebooks and journals, content management, royalty administration, and even management of third-party distribution relationships. In short, Newgen can support any and every aspect of your publishing business. Typically, publishers pay for these services but this case study will explore one unique case, along with examples from other publisher-clients, where publishers have partnered with Newgen on a revenue-sharing basis to deliver mission-critical services. Lived Places Publishing, founded in 2021 via a partnership with Newgen, has leveraged the expertise and technology of the Newgen team to build its commissioning strategy, design its websites, launch its institutional ebook platform, manage its accounting and royalty payments, and develop unique distribution partnerships for ebooks around the world.

We are at an inflection point—our decisions will determine both the value we deliver as an industry, as well as the values we reflect as a community.
