| After your manuscript has been copy-edited it
goes to our Production Department. Here the physical appearance of your book is
determined, and all elements are chosen to harmonize with the spirit of the subject
matter. This department selects the style and size of type, designs the book throughout,
and handles all other mechanical aspects of book production. If illustrations, drawings,
tables or charts are required for your book, and are not submitted with the manuscript, we
enlist talented artists to prepare this material. If pictorial matter is supplied by the
author, we examine it carefully to see if it is of good quality and will reproduce
properly. We handle unusual production problems with professional care. |
|
| In addition, a skilled artist is
busy designing a distinctive, professional cover or jacket. This work is done by designers
who create their designs after studying the theme of your book. At the same time, our
Promotion Department is writing the descriptive copy or "blurb" and biographical
sketch that appear on the cover or jacket. Your book is now completed — a book that will compare favorably with the productions of other American publishers. |
