Offshore Project Management
Our Offshore (India-based) Editorial Project Management service launched in 2015, following a history of highly-sought-after US project management services dating back to the 1990s. And while the editorial project management expertise of our U.S. team lead by Susan Baker may have been enough to ensure a top-flight offshore editorial project management team, we decided to add to our staff by bringing in an India editorial management veteran, Mona Tiwary, to head up our New Delhi, India based offshore project management group.
Copyediting
An essential element of any editorial project management service is Copyediting. In establishing our offshore service, we recognized that while publishers would be quite comfortable with offshore project management, they may not be as comfortable with offshore copyediting. Therefore, you can have a choice of using a US, UK, or India-based copyeditor. You identify the best source for your publication on a project by project basis.
