Team

A team trained around the book

The way we train our people is one of our strongest competitive advantages.

The Booknando team together

At Booknando we believe that producing outstanding digital books requires understanding what a book really is. That is why we developed our own approach to hiring and training.

We hire young people who have studied or are studying literature, so they arrive with a feel for the written word. They join as interns and go through a full training path.

That combination, a love of books together with real command of the technical tools, is what delivers the quality and consistency our clients recognise in every project.

A background in literature

Everyone on our team has studied or is studying literature, so a love of books is there from the start.

A full training path

Interns work through a structured in-house programme, from the basics to advanced work.

High-level technical training

We build advanced skills in the technical tools of digital publishing production.

Our values

What drives us

Quality

Every project gets meticulous attention to detail, so the result goes beyond what was expected.

Commitment

We treat every book as if it were ours, with care and respect for the work of the author and the publisher.

Innovation

We invest continuously in technology and process so we can deliver the most advanced solutions available.

Partnership

We build lasting relationships based on trust, transparency and results.
