Free sample manuscript assessment

If you’re a publisher who’ll be at the IPG Autumn Conference in London next week (17 September) and you’re thinking about using manuscript assessment to maximise your editorial budget, why not come and have a chat with IPG supplier Sunrise Setting.

We’re offering attendees a free sample manuscript assessment, which combines Lumina Datamatics’ MARS tool and our own checks to recommend: 1) the level of copy-editing required and 2) either an onshore or an offshore copy-edit, the latter together with onshore quality control.

You’ll find more details here – and we hope we’ll see you on Tuesday.

‘What makes it work for us is the flexibility’

In the spirit of BookMachine Campus, ‘a community for curious publishing professionals’, we’re sharing a clip from a BookMachine conversation between Sunrise Setting’s Jessica Stock, Cambridge University Press’s Katy McIntosh, BookMachine’s Aimee Dewar and Lumina Datamatics’ Deborah Harman, all about using onshore and offshore services in tandem.

You can access the full conversation here, along with other online resources and events, by signing up to Campus. And if, like CUP, you’d like to talk to Sunrise Setting about picking and choosing onshore and offshore services, we’ll be at London Book Fair next week, 12–14 March, on stand 3B19, on the first floor.

Talk to just one company about onshore and offshore

As Lumina Datamatics’ onshore editorial and project-management division, Sunrise Setting is the only company you need to talk to in order to integrate onshore and offshore services.

Elsewhere on the site we’ve highlighted four of the ways in which specialist onshore editorial and project management work really well with offshore streamlining to improve turnaround times, author satisfaction and, ultimately, the bottom line. We’ll be talking more about these at London Book Fair – just come and see us on stand 3B19, or email us beforehand at enquiries@sunrise-setting.co.uk.

Onshore and offshore: a #BookMachine discussion

Join our own Jessica Stock this Thursday (13 April), when she’ll be talking with Katy McIntosh of Cambridge University Press & Assessment and Lumina Datamatics’ Deborah Harman about onshore and offshore services for academic publishers, including how CUP are currently making the most of both.

The event is part of #BookMachine’s series of briefing discussions, and it’s free to attend.  Just register here.
