Publishing Services
With over 30 years of in-house publishing experience, we understand the need to have your standards maintained throughout the course of a project. We are professionals in the project management, development/design, editing, composition, art, and quality control services. As a full-service supplier, we have the capabilities and drive to manage the entire production process for your jobs.
A good developmental editor can make all the difference when it comes to publishing content that meets market needs, includes useful pedagogy, and adheres to desired length specifications. We work with one author or with hundreds of contributing authors on a single title. In addition to the mechanics of doing competitive analyses, inviting authors, and managing the peer review process, we can help plan chapter organization, develop special features, and manage the peer-review process. We have the skills and experience to rewrite and restructure text, improve flow, and identify gaps in content (also called substantive editing).
We offer a full range of editorial and project management services for all phases of book and journal production from copyediting through delivery of final product to your printer or electronic files back to you. We have vast experience with all aspects of the production process and offer complete proofreading, indexing, and permissions capabilities. Additionally, as a full-service provider, we offer product design, online copyediting, full project tracking, and author/vendor management.
Our composition solutions provide integrated print and electronic distribution channels for any product line — from educational textbooks to corporate brochures and product specification sheets. Whether you plan to distribute your content via the Internet or in print format, our desktop publishing and high end UNIX database systems, SGML, HTML, and XML tagging, offer a solution for every publishing challenge.
We will provide you with flawless translation services in over 100 different languages and dialects, while meeting the most demanding deadlines. To ensure accuracy, each translation is created by a team of professionals who are native speakers of the specific language as well as specialists in the subject areas of the translations' content.
Variable Data and Print-On-Demand for both black and white and four-color materials are offered as an alternative to offset printing. We have the ability to work from either supplied hard copy or files on disk to support your quick turnaround, short-run projects.
Under the Consolidated Graphics umbrella, we have the printing capabilities of over 70 sister companies, enabling us to support both your composition and print needs. Electronic books are no longer a curiosity to the public; they are changing the way we read, learn, and disseminate information. The production process for an electronic book draws heavily on our years of experience in support of traditional print. Identifying the correct eBook solution is one of the largest obstacles to overcome when developing content for handheld or portable computer devices. We have experience in converting content to support HTML, PDF, and any OEB compliant specification for eBook end product.
