Serif launches Affinity Publisher open beta for Windows desktop
Affinity Publisher is the latest addition to Serif's powerful design apps for Windows desktop.

Serif is adding to its stable of desktop apps today, launching the open beta version of Affinity Publisher (opens in new tab) for desktop PCs. Aiming to provide professional publishing tools similar to Adobe's InDesign and Microsoft's entry-level Publisher, Affinity Publisher joins a lineup that already includes Affinity Photo and Affinity Designer.
Publisher includes tools to build layouts for documents for the web and print, including things like brochures, flyers, and presentations.
Because this is a beta version, Serif warns that there will be bugs and the app may look unpolished, recommending that it it not be used for any production work at the moment. Features will be added as Serif iterates on Publisher over the coming months, and you can contribute feedback at the Publisher forums. The app will also eventually feature "deep integration" with Affinity Designer and Photo once they've received updates to work with Publisher.
For now, Affinity Publisher is available for anyone to try (opens in new tab) in beta form for free.

Another great app from serif. It's easy and fluid to use, the UI is good too. Been using it for some days now, the only feature it needs is the ability to make EPUB documents.
