In addition to NewSage Press's editorial department, we also work independently with clients who are seeking book production services.

NewSage Press has been editing, designing, and producing quality books since 1985 and we do share our expertise with organizations and individuals seeking professional book publishing services. However, the books created by our production services department are not distributed or marketed by NewSage Press. (Authors looking for a publisher for their manuscript must submit their work through NewSage Press's editorial department. Refer to "Writers' Guidelines."

Production services include working with clients who want to have their manuscript edited, designed or printed--or all three. These clients then distribute and market their books through their own specialty channels or to their own organization.

If you are looking for any or all of these book services, contact NewSage Press to discuss your book needs by email at: info@newsagepress.com

Staff at NewSage Press have been editing manuscripts for more than twenty-five years. Maureen Michelson, the Senior editor, also works with other copy editors, some of whom have been with NewSage Press for ten years or more. If you need a general read with basic editorial comments or if you need a line edit, both of these services are available through NewSage Press. Maureen Michelson does accept these editing projects on a limited basis.

Experienced, award-winning designers who work with NewSage Press excel at finding simple, creative, and readable solutions to design challenges with books. This includes book cover designs as well as interior book design. All design work is done in Adobe InDesign and we provide camera-ready output or digital files, depending on the printer's needs.

Today "printing" might mean offset printing on a web press or a traditional printing press, or laser printing or print-on-demand. Digital output is the norm, and most printers have the production capabilities to go straight to plates without the additional costly step of film. Depending on the print run and the printer's capabilities, this can vary.

With more than twenty-five years of experience with printers, NewSage Press understands how to maximize the advantages each production method offers, and when each is appropriate, or not. We also understand paper considerations such as weight, recycled or not, and the most economic use of paper for a book's signatures.

NewSage Press has strong, ongoing relationships with printers and we can share our expertise with clients who may be new to the various aspects of book production and publishing. We can also fairly warn you about expensive offers from vanity presses, and why this is not the answer to your book publishing needs. We can also discuss the wisdom or the risks of self-publishing in today's book world. In large part this will depend on you as the writer, your book project, and access to distribution channels and interested groups with whom to network. Sometimes self-publishing is a good idea, and sometimes it is not!
