Looking at manuscripts with authors
Some of the greatest challenges in publishing are finding the right people, staying within budget, meeting the deadlines and producing a perfect publication for the market. Imagine being able to leave all of those concerns in a safe pair of hands.
No matter how good the specification or brief, it will require interpretation, writers to produce the content and a firm but fair manager to co-ordinate the process while keeping track of budget, timescales/scheduling and print requirements.
In addition, education publishers face the challenge of developing new markets for text books in line with an ever-changing curriculum.
As part of your publishing project, have you thought about:
- Writers’ contracts?
- Managing writer conflicts over content?
- Writing styles appropriate for the audience?
- Expert reviewers?
- Keeping up-to-date with new developments that impact on content?
- Copyright issues?
- Branding and design?
- Images and artwork?
Net.Mentor Learning has managed these and other publishing issues for major publishing houses including Pearson Education, Addison Wesley Longman, Macmillan, ACCA and Wordhouse (for Nelson Thornes Ltd.)
