I direct editorial production, composition, and production of trade print, audio, and e-books. I lead our production team in scheduling, budgeting, and producing approximately 40 front-list titles, 20 conversions, and 150 to 200 reprint impressions per year. Staff reporting to me include the managing editor, copy editor, production coordinators, proofreader, and reprint manager. I manage all of our relationships with offset and digital printers, electronic conversion houses, audio production engineers, component manufacturers, typesetters, and illustrators. I oversee editorial production, including copyediting, proofreading, and indexing, and the management of freelance service providers. I was the project lead overseeing the implementation of the Biblio title-management system and continue to be the company's Biblio point person. I handle many rights and permissions issues for production, editorial, and design. I also work closely with the creative director to facilitate preparation of cover and jacket mechanicals. It is my duty to keep up-to-date on trends, techniques, and technologies (for example, digital content delivery, manufacturing, narration, and language and style issues) in the editorial, design, and production fields.
