WHAT MAKES US STAND OUT

MULTILINGUAL COMMUNICATION

We aim to enjoy easy and effective communication with everyone, no matter what their first language might be; that’s why we’re working hard to become a multilingual company. In fact, we’re already fluent in four languages and there’s more to come!

PROPRIETARY TOOLS

We build our own in-house editing tools to provide alternatives not available with those ordinary tool options. It’s just one of the many ways we empower our customers to make the most of their materials!

WELL-EARNED RESPECT

At Have a Book, we’re proud of the enduring, meaningful relationships we’ve built with the top Scandinavian publishing houses.

ONE-STOP SHOP

We’re capable of composing any kind of book for every type of media—print, mobile devices, all learning platforms. From cover to cover, Have a Book can coordinate any publishing concern and tackle any book-related task.
