Our Editors & Staff
Since 1988, we have specialized in offering high-quality editing, proofreading, indexing, typesetting, and writing services. As your partner and as a member of your team, we can oversee and manage your publication from working with your authors through all the production steps including typesetting and presenting files for print or electronic publishing.
