Autumn Update

In recent months we are pleased to have secured work on a number of new journals. We are now editing in LaTeX and Microsoft Word for Sage Publications (The International Journal of Robotics Research, Textile Research Journal and Multiple Sclerosis) and Taylor & Francis (Advances in Physics and Liquid Crystals). We are also editing in LaTeX for Biomed Central on various journals.

For many years we have project managed and edited Ergodic Theory and Dynamical Systems for Cambridge University Press and are now pleased to add three more Cambridge journals (The ANZIAM Journal, The Bulletin of the Australian Mathematical Society and the Journal of the Australian Mathematical Society) to this workflow.

We provide a full project management service for Cambridge, being responsible for the journals from the manuscript stage right through to the supply of print PDFs and XML. This includes liaison with authors and academic editors, issue make-up and, most importantly, ensuring that the journal schedule is met throughout the year.

We have been editing and typesetting three journals for Incisive Media for some time and we have now commenced work on a fourth, The Journal of Risk.

Along with a regular stream of XML, conference proceedings and book projects, our office is a hive of activity, but we are always glad to take on more!

Please click here to see the range of services we offer. Do bear in mind that this is not an exhaustive list…if you need something a little different we are more than happy to tailor our service to fit your needs. We pride ourselves on our customer-responsive approach and if there is anything at all that we can help you with, please contact us. We’d really like to hear from you.

Thumbs up to a successful London Book Fair

With the second move in two years I was wondering what the 2007 London Book Fair had in store for us. However, I was pleasantly surprised to find that Earl’s Court was a vast improvement on last year. The atmosphere was more relaxed, the aisles wider and easier to view, the catering more efficient and, most importantly, the number of visitors to our stand was much higher. The only problem we seemed to encounter was the odd numbering system – with our stand being the last number in our “Q” section, I soon became aware of the “lost visitor” look, the pause, the gazing up at the numbers, the perusal of the map and then the puzzled stare! Fortunately, I was usually able to point people in the right direction, but I wonder how many appointments were missed as clients wondered around searching for the correct stand location?

For me, the fair was a chance to catch up with current customers, to meet new folk and to see what is new in the book world. We had much interest in our XML typesetting workflow and also in our QualEcheck service, for quality control of copyediting. When you say you are a “typesetting” company, people tend to think that is all you do, but these days our services are much wider: copyediting, quality control, project management, liaison with printers and editor, permissions – the list is long as we aim to provide an all round flexible service. We are also happy, however, for customers to just pick the bit they require; for example, they might typeset their book themselves and just want a copyedit and a pagination check, or they might have a bank of copyeditors which need managing and quality controlling. Here at Sunrise with a bit of personal service we can fit in where needed.

For me, I am now busy chasing up new contacts so for us the London Book Fair was definitely a success.

London Book Fair 2007, Earls Court, April 16–18th

As always, this is also preparation time for the London Book Fair 2007. This year the fair has been put back a month to April 16–18th and will be at Earls Court rather than the Excel Exhibition Centre. We are as usual in the Publishing Solutions Zone, in the balcony area on stand Q957. Please do get in touch if you would like to arrange a meeting.

New web site launched for January 2007

As a bright start to the New Year we have now launched our new look web site. Our old site had been up for nearly 10 years in one form or another and we felt that it was time to start afresh. For us our web site is a place to put forward the high-quality services we offer, and also a chance to keep customers, new and old, up-to-date with any changes afoot and highlights to our year here in South Devon. If you have any comments or suggestions do let us know.
