As the Digital Publishing Manager, I have been responsible for establishing and managing the eBook publishing program for 25+ imprints for The Quarto Group, since the Fall of 2010. Managing the day-to-day workflow includes determining title-specific conversion rules for vendors, QC and revisions—including overseeing technical accuracy and adapting content.

Responsibilities included overseeing photography, illustration, cover design, and page layout for books. I also solicited, hired, and supervised freelance page designers, cover designers, illustrators, and production artists to ensure compliance with company standards for budget, schedule, and product quality. The job also included oversight of all studio.
