To comply with the UK government’s 23 March restrictions on movement, for the next three weeks we won’t usually be in the office to answer telephone calls. Instead, as we’re all working from home, we can give you a call – just email and let us know. And if you don’t have an individual member of staff’s email address, you can get in touch at enquiries@sunrise-setting.co.uk. Thanks.
Developmental editing
Our editorial work with BCS, the Chartered Institute of IT, includes more than copy-editing. When required, we work with their authors at an earlier stage of the process, helping them to develop their manuscripts – for example, to define clearly the aim of a book and each of its chapters before setting about achieving them. Is the target reader being served as well as possible, not only in terms of the overall structure but the specifics of the material. Is there too much detail? Is there too much context? Is it sufficiently focused or have topics been mixed? Has everything been explained and justified?
The title pictured above is one that we helped to develop editorially last year, as well as taking it through to final print- and online-ready files – a rare case of project managing Project-Management.
Volume 1, issue 1
Congratulations to Juliano Fiori and his colleagues on the launch of the Journal of Humanitarian Affairs, which it’s been a pleasure for us to help out with. The new journal is hosted jointly by The Humanitarian Affairs Team at Save the Children UK, Centre de Réflexion sur l’Action et les Savoirs Humanitaires MSF (Paris) and the Humanitarian and Conflict Response Institute at the University of Manchester – and you can read more, including the issue itself, at manchester openhive, the home of Manchester University Press’s Open Access content.
The Routledge Anthology of Restoration and Eighteenth-Century Performance
Not a Performance review, just a couple of photos of the book, which we enjoyed project managing and copy-editing. It’s available here – and the very best of luck with it to Daniel, Kristina and Misty.
