What does editorial project management cover?
This usually involves supervising the project through the editorial, design and proofing stages until it is ready for print. Tasks may include:

• copy-editing the text, negotiating any queries with the author and gaining their approval of the editing;
• commissioning illustrations and maps if required;
• liaising as necessary with the designer, picture researcher, illustrator and production controller;
• proofreading (or briefing and supervising another proofreader);
• helping to check illustration proofs;
• commissioning an index if required or advising the author on producing one;
• providing weekly progress reports to the publisher.
