is web-based, with all the benefits that brings. For instance, never needing file documents or software updates (it’s always the newest version), and online collaboration. Thirdly, Beemgee is being recognised by publishers and other creative industries, so you might get your Beemgee account from your publisher rather than buying it yourself.

are you looking to grow into? We have authors all over the world. In Germany, we have a few well-known publishers as B2B customers. We are keen to have UK publishers try us out for things like adaptations (for instance, making a game to a novel). But also author care, story evaluation, commissioning and helping the editorial team to brief authors. Or story development and doctoring facilities will help editors, too. We’re already doing some of these things
with publishers in Germany. Any innovative publisher looking to improve the early-stage processes, are welcome to get in touch with us.
