James Ryan – Editor

Our team of high quality professionals, enabling us to provide entirely flexible editorial, production and training services – from discrete editorial functions such as copyediting, proofreading and indexing, to the project management of individual titles, to the management of entire publishing lists on an ongoing basis.​

Founded in 2004, we offer a management team with extensive knowledge of all aspects of editorial and production principles and procedures, built through decades of experience. Our in-depth knowledge of publishing processes, including the latest digital technology, allows us to devise and deliver the most cost-effective solutions possible whilst always ensuring that the highest editorial standards are upheld.

We can and do work in most subject fields. We have worked with some of the biggest and best publishing companies in the world - from Bloomsbury to Penguin, OUP to Routledge.

I started as a copy-editor, learning every aspect of the publishing business at one of the largest publishers in the UK. I worked on over a thousand titles during my time there. When I left, I was the manager of the textbooks department, and developed extensive skills in areas such as project management and new technologies. I learned and developed skills that enabled me to work smarter - producing titles more quickly and cost-effectively, while retaining the quality that was so essential in this field. I worked with many excellent freelances in the field - and this led to my decision to leave to establish my own publishing services company.
