Our Story

In 1998, eXPress Partners (electronic Generation X Press) started with the dream of making e-book publishing easy and accessible for aspiring authors. And so, eXPress Collage 1.0 was released. Developed by Sean Roth and tested by Deb Jennings, it was an ambitious undertaking for the recently married couple.

Sean and Deb were extremely proud of their "newborn," and didn't hesitate to show it off to family and friends. It wasn't long though, before Collage began to grow; at first in Sean's mind, and then in reality as he worked evenings and weekends to share his vision with others. Eventually the program took on the roles of digital photo album, digital calendar and screensaver creator as well as e-book.

Along the way, Deb pitched in with testing Collage, writing help files and documentation, and the eXPress Partners website. More than that, she went along for the ride, discussing features and enhancements with Sean, and giving him as much time to realize his dream as possible.

Today

Ten years and five versions later, eXPress Collage is (nearly) everything we hoped it would be -- except commercially successful. But it's true that the journey is more important than the destination, and we have learned so much on this journey!

That's why we're happy to share the current version, eXPress Collage 5.0 (in Album, eBook and Calendar versions) as freeware. We're also making all Collage templates free to download.

If you like Collage, let us know. And if you have a dream, don't give up! Just know that you may need to transform your vision as you go along, and know that this, too, is part of a worthwhile journey.

Sincerely,

Sean Roth and Deb Jennings
