Project Management

Publishers nationwide trust that the project managers at Publication Services will do all they can to deliver an exceptional end product on time and within budget constraints. We understand that no two publishers are alike. Our expert project managers are assigned to you, our client, rather than to individual projects. This allows them to become knowledgeable about each individual publisher's workflow, guidelines and other distinctive characteristics.

Author management is demanding for many publishers. We understand that the average author has spent countless hours researching, writing, and fine-tuning their work. The production process can be quite painful for many authors, and the project managers at Publication Services are experienced at walking authors painlessly through the development of their title.

Keeping you 'in the loop' is important to Publication Services. To put it simply, things can and do go wrong during book production. When this happens, our project managers shine by not only outlining the problem but also providing well thought out solutions. Our weekly status reports detail
