Most real/brilliant clients and customers are production departments that publish on a regular basis.
We work with a wide variety of book and journal publishers, non-profits, government agencies, large corporations, universities, and other entities, who produce books, textbooks, journals, magazines, marketing collateral, newsletters, reports, web sites, and catalogs sometimes once a year, mostly several times a year, or have seasonal production schedules that require tight deadlines.
Our clients may publish only books, or only reports (in PDF or PowerPoint), or only journals, but they are responsible for a hefty production schedule on a seasonal basis. We support these publications departments by providing top-notch production services for a smooth, seamless production schedule season after season.
What our clients all have in common is that they have publication schedules that must be met. They all desire reliable editorial services professionals that help them meet their deadlines.
Are some of these statements true for you?
“I’m a book packager with a very busy schedule of publishing clients. I’ve struggled to find good, quality copyeditors who actually are professional and competent. I often interview 30 to 40 different copyeditors looking for that perfect someone. I’m wasting time with this process and I’m looking for someone who can handle a large bulk of books per year for me.”
“We’re a busy New York City-based publisher with offices in London and Rome and we publish over 500 books a year. Many times we cycle through a long list of copyeditors in order to find one that has an opening in their schedule or has the background that we’re looking for. I’m interested in finding an editorial services firm that can provide the same top-notch copyediting and production service we’ve grown accustomed to, but can also fit us in to their schedule or can serve as a reliable go-to person when we’re in a jam trying to find a copyeditor.”
“We’re a government research firm that produces reports on a seasonal basis and we’re always behind schedule. I’m looking for copyeditors who are skilled in several publishing programs (including Acrobat, FrameMaker, Word, and InCopy) that can take several projects at once and return them in a timely manner.”
“As the production coordinator for a large university-affiliated press, the importance of top-notch copyeditors and other editorial services professionals cannot be esteemed highly enough. We rely on our service professionals to continue our crème de la crème publishing reputation with stellar work that makes us look good. I just have a problem finding freelancers that can handle our books on a regular basis.”
“We’re a mid-cap marketing agency and we create so many pieces in a day’s time, we’re always looking for reliable editorial service professionals—copyeditors and proofreaders—to fill in the gaps left by our staff who are either sick or on vacation or just completely busy with other jobs. If our marketing pieces go to our clients with errors, we lose business. We rely heavily on our freelance editorial services professionals to continue to provide the top-notch editorial support we need.”
