Hi
I am interested in your project: For the last 4 years I have worked in academic book production. My company produced titles for Taylor & Francis and other, mostly social science publishers (typesetting, artwork-preparation, copyediting/indexing, corrections, …).
What can I offer? Over 25 years of experience with Microsoft Office, Adobe InDesign, Photoshop (+ some Illustrator), QuarkXPress, MathType in companies and as freelancer.
I have typeset books (100–500 pages) from a wide range of topics such as medicine (e.g. “Cognitive Behavioural Protocols for Medical Settings. A Clinician’s Guide”), history (e.g. “The Hardships of the English Laws in Relation to Wives”), Education (e.g. “The Teacher Gap”) or lighter/more illustrated titles (“Stays and Corsets”) from templates provided by large publishers like Taylor and Francis or own bespoke designs. I have provided editorial support including fact checking, indexing and index-checks, proofreading (spelling/grammar + design rules [e.g. widows/orphans, mis-styling, consistency of TOC and in-text headings).
As other bidders have pointed out, it is not that easy to define the bid-amount and delivery times without knowing any details. I am happy with earning UK minimum wage for a good project (= around 13.75 Canadian Dollars).
Please contact me if you think we could work together.
