There are multiple steps to the final production of a manuscript; many of these are complicated, time-consuming, and opaque. We offer expert support informed by not only technical expertise but also broad experience with a range of publishers and their processes across a wide spectrum of publication types. Our services help you bring your manuscript across the finish line in perfect form.
Bibliography creation
We pull citations from notes and format them as a comprehensive list (or series of lists) of bibliographical entries, according to a publisher’s style specifications.
Indexing
We create accurate and tailored indexes that highlight key concepts and themes so as to position your work’s claims and contributions within your field.
Translation
We perform elegant and precise translation—specializing in Italian, French, German, Spanish, and Latin—whether for your historical sources or your own writing.
Image acquisitions & permissions
Procuring images and permission to reproduce them can significantly delay a publication. We have extensive expertise in obtaining high-quality images and their publication rights from many types of institutions and in multiple languages. Where possible, we find images available for free in the public domain.
Proofreading
Once copyedited and typeset proofs are available from the press, we check every single element—from the table of contents to the index, the front cover to the back matter, and everything in between—for typographical errors and consistent layout.
Project management
We are experienced at keeping multiauthor volumes on track to publication, including communicating with authors about scheduling and requirements, coordinating the timely receipt of completed essays, and ensuring consistency of style across contributions.
