Books
Let us help you to get your book on press.
We offer a range of editorial and picture research packages for highly illustrated publications, be they art books, exhibition catalogues, gift books or guidebooks.
​
Whether you are looking for proofreading services, assistance in taking in corrections in InDesign, help with picture research and image rights clearances, or full project management support to take your title from first draft to bookshop shelves, we can put together the package that is right for you.
Proofreading
Making sure your material is ready to go to print, we offer final checks for consistency, dates, names, spelling, grammar, punctuation and adherence to style guidelines.
​
For proofreading at layout stage we will also check page cross references, references to images, directionals and image captions, running heads, prelims, end matter, imprint information and typesetting.
​​
Flat fee options are available, calculated based on the word count and confirmed on review of the material. For publications with extensive end matter or technical content prices may be higher.
Copy-editing
Get your book ready for design with edits for tone, content and clarity, grammar checks, fact and date checking and adherence to house style guidelines.
We will compile a style document, highlight figures and missing information and add figure numbers and cross references as required.
​
Flat fee options are available, calculated based on the word count and confirmed on review of the manuscript. For publications with extensive end matter or technical content prices may be higher.
Project Management
