How It Works

Our Delivery Process

01

Manuscript Assessment

Review and spec your manuscript for production.

We assess your Word/LaTeX/InDesign manuscript, note style requirements, identify design complexity, and confirm all specifications before beginning production.

Copyediting & Editorial

Language and structural editorial pass.

Senior editors work through the manuscript for language, consistency, citation style, and factual accuracy. You receive a tracked-changes document for review.

03

Full layout in InDesign with style guide.

Complete typesetting with all figures, tables, equations, and footnotes. First proofs delivered as annotatable PDF for client corrections.

04

Proofing & Final Delivery

Author and editorial proof rounds, corrections, index compilation, and final export in all required formats (PDF/X, ePub, XML). Print-ready within spec.
