Book Production Resources is a group of highly skilled publishing professionals who prefer to work at home. They include book and jacket designers, copyeditors, editors, project managers, proofreaders, researchers, and indexers.
The publishing professionals who work with BPR live all over the U.S. This trend is physically made possible by the incredible improvements made over the last ten years in communications, transportation, sophisticated computer systems, and the simplicity of software designed for this industry.
Outsourcing of design, editorial, and production services offers publishers an avenue to complement their staffs’ capacities when extraordinary demand is placed upon them by unanticipated publishing opportunities. Publishers can increase their current list and profit potential without incurring long-term overhead.
We offer the “cafeteria plan.” If you wish to oursource several titles in a given time period, we will create a project management plan to meet your special requirements.
