When I tell people I am a typesetter I get one of two reactions; "how cool!" or "what is that?". I am pretty happy to receive both as the aim of a good typesetter is to go unnoticed, ensuring nothing obscures or detracts from the text itself and allows the reader uninterrupted passage through a book. To do that I have truly honed my problem solving and eye for detail and can navigate around Adobe software packages better than my own home. Typesetting has a long and intricate history which I am proud to be a latest addition to and a part of.In addition to my typesetting role, I have also taken on various marketing/administration responsibilities which have included creating and coding a new website from the ground up, converting the company operations to digital formats, and assisting in the transition to the Limited company.

As the company was quite small I was able to take on a number of roles including, but not limited to: book production assistant, digital publishing manager, author liaison, web content and social media administrator. I was first contact for all new and returning authors, as well as responsible for a majority of the digital and social media marketing. My daily duties included typesetting manuscripts and creating print ready PDFs, managing printing and distribution of finished titles, creating and uploading eBooks to Amazon’s KDP, and writing copy for book covers and social media posts.
