Testimonials – Why Publishers Choose Westchester [Read More]
“Westchester has been our typesetting partner since the early 90’s and during that time has handled award-winning and best-selling titles like the novels of Jonathan Franzen, epub and print versions of our children’s book list like the Bad Kitty books, as well as Michael Wolff’s Fire and Fury and James Comey’s A Higher Loyalty. Westchester provides outstanding customer service, and the level of quality is predictably impressive on each project–which is why we rely on Westchester.”
– Leslie Padgett, SVP of Technology, Macmillan Publishers
“The India Direct Full Service division of U.S. employee-owned Westchester Publishing Services provides as much expertise, energy and passion as any staff I've worked with in my 25 plus years in publishing. They keep me updated daily as needed, even weekends when matters are urgent, working with my various printers, and distributors as needed. Always professional, always thoughtful.”
– Steve Errick, Publisher & Co-Founder, Twelve Tables Press
"I am impressed by the quality of Westchester’s work—from design to typesetting to e-book creation—as well as their professionalism. One of my chief concerns initially was that an outside company could not match our high editorial standards. Not so! Working with Westchester makes great publishing the norm.”
- Garrett Brown, Director of Publications, The Mercatus Center
“As publishers, we’re long-term relationship people. It’s a real asset to work with peers who have been with some of the same companies and experienced the same industry transitions, workflows, and technology experiments. There’s a comfort level there.”
– Nancy Hoagland, Books EDP Manager, Duke University Press
“Working with Westchester, we have a high level of confidence with their team to maintain the high-quality standards ASM is known for with regards to our textbook and reference materials. The team is professional and committed to bringing our projects home with extremely high quality and attention to detail.”
- Larry Klein, Production Manager, Books, American Society for Microbiology
“Westchester Publishing Services has done a superb job for us handling composition, eBook conversion, cover creation, and numerous other tasks we've called upon them to do on short notice. We've been particularly impressed with WPS' flexibility, turnaround times, attention to quality, and ability to collaborate on different approaches to projects depending on our available resources at a particular time. The project management has been responsive and first-rate.”
- Larry Selby, VP, Content, Blue360 Media, Inc.
“Bloomsbury has been using Westchester Publishing Services for trade typesetting for over a decade—not just because the service is excellent but because the company has been willing to invest and flex to support our evolving XML-based workflows.”
– Louise Cameron, Group Production Director, Bloomsbury
“I've had the privilege of working with Westchester staff since 2008 and have enjoyed a wonderful relationship built on trust and professionalism. For publication design, composition, art creation, color settings, and project management, Westchester fills our book production needs with aplomb at very competitive rates. In fact, you can't buy this kind of knowledge and support for any price elsewhere.”
– D. Jean Ray, Production Manager, American Academy of Ophthalmology
“Mark DaGrossa and his design team supported our business with everything from marketing brochures to elaborate historical books for our key customers and employees. In all cases, I have been extremely impressed with the quality of service and end products.”
-Tony Russell, President, Mobile Systems Division, The O’Gara Group
“We recently had the Westchester New Delhi operation handle the Wonderful World 2E Lesson Planner adaptations and to say these were messy and complicated is underselling the challenges these presented. Westchester Publishing Services was excellent and able to meet program expectations, as well as schedule and budget requirements.”
–Michael Burggren, Senior Director of Production, National Geographic Learning
"Westchester's ability to provide high-quality production services for well-regarded legal publishers was an important consideration for our association. and gave us confidence in contracting out tasks like tagging, layout, and composition rather than managing them in-house. Doing so has freed up our editors to focus more fully on author management, recruitment, and providing expert legal editing for the content our professional membership relies upon us for in carrying out their work in the Maryland legal community."
- Andrea Terry, Director of Learning, Maryland State Bar Association
“Westchester has simplified project management for The MIT Press, while also providing complete transparency. In addition to receiving regular updates from their production editors, we are able to conveniently access the Westchester Client Portal at any time to upload or download assets and see the status of our projects. The ability to have everything we need for the projects we assign to Westchester conveniently and securely accessible has significantly reduced the time our production team spends on tracking project information.”
-Jim Mitchell, Production Manager, The MIT Press
