Elsa is an authoring tool designed specifically with authors in mind to support the publishing process. Elsa’s suite of tools make creating, updating, and revising content easy, so you can spend less time formatting and receive fewer queries from editorial and production staff.
Create, update, and revise content seamlessly
Elsa automates and simplifies the most tedious parts of the publishing process by formatting your chapter as you write and automatically numbering and re-numbering your table of contents, references, callouts, figures, tables, boxes, and equations.
