Responsibilities include:
§ Managing submissions in a timely manner– assuring author proposal forms are complete, logging in submissions as they are received, processing those that are not of interest, and verbally presenting those that show promise in editorial meetings.
§ Distributing and coordinating pre-press projects to a select group of proofers – electronically or by mail. Reviewing and combining needed corrections into a clean document to be sent to pre-press for integration, and verifying that all necessary changes have been made in final project files.
§ Taking part in the proofing of various projects, marketing materials, ads, catalog copy, pre-press copies, and other information as part of an in-house proofing loop.
§ Reviewing new manuscripts as they arrive to insure all needed material, citations, and other information is included before the project goes to pre-press department for initial layout.
§ Assisting in the creation of book cover copy, catalog copy, and assorted in-house projects.
