Production Management

We can manage the production of your book or project through design, editing, typesetting, art rendering, photo research, proofreading, and indexing—from first draft to final printer's proofs. In particular, we excel in the challenging and the unusual projects, from organizing jumbled manuscripts to guiding strong-minded or inexperienced authors to meeting exacting schedules. Textbooks that we have steered through production range from communication to sociology, chemistry to statistics. Check out the lists of projects we have overseen from rough manuscript to bound books.


Design

Do you need a simple design for just text, or does your project include boxes, notes, text displays, equations, tables, five levels of heads, and seven kinds of lists? We can work with designs that you provide, adapt other designs to fit your needs, and create all-new designs to appeal to any audience. Our free-lance designers have many years of experience in educational publishing, so they can craft a design to meet your standards.


Text Editing

Take advantage of our experience in language arts, graphic arts, mathematics, computer science, science, humanities, and more. We work with a number of free-lance editors who provide discerning insight in all fields. Whether your manuscript and disk files require a light read-through or a substantial rewrite, we can provide the copy editing you need.


Typesetting

We'll take your ideas from rough manuscript to camera-ready copy or final disk files. We can provide sample pages, galleys, page proofs, and camera-ready copy, PostScript, or PDF files to meet your schedule. Whether your project is one color or more, we bring the rough words and ideas to dazzling life. Our experience in composition includes math, statistics, chemistry, and computer science as well as the "soft-side" areas such as communication, counseling, education, history, philosophy, political science, psychology, and sociology. Our lists of books provide glimpses into the range of our experience.


Technical Illustrations

Send us your notes and rough sketches. We'll send you finished graphs, diagrams, precision drawings—black and white or color. From line drawings to flowcharts to business forms to technical diagrams to intricate maps, we can make your picture truly worth a thousand words!


Text Scanning

More accurate than typing, and much faster! We can scan typewritten or printed pages and create a formatted, spell-checked text file for you.


Graphic Scanning

Give us a rough sketch, reflective art, photograph, or transparency—we can scan it, trace it, revise it, even put your face on the Statue of Liberty if you like! Line art, gray-scale, or color.


Laser Printing

PostScript laser printing at 600 dpi. Crisp output on whitest paper, in one, two, three, or four colors. See paper proofs of your project at a resolution high enough to forestall problems throughout the production.
