Editorial Experts
In November 2010, I established a partnership firm named WordXperts in Pondicherry, specializing mainly in editorial services. I was in-charge of a team of 25 copyeditors, proofreaders and indexers. My team specialized in
1. Proofreading and collation for Elsevier-MRW books.
2. Coldreading for Cengage, Pearson, T&F books.
3. Copyediting for Cengage, Pearson (involves PCL editing also), ABC-Clio, T&F, and Elsevier books.
4. Indexing
5. Alt-text creation
6. Abstracting
I was in-charge of the quality and delivery of the team. I have conducted training sessions on a group and individual basis to improve and develop the copyeditor’s skills. Feedbacks from the clients were documented on a regular basis and training was oriented towards meeting the client requirements.
Now I run my own start-up firm Editors Forum, which aims at bringing together the world’s best editors and writers under one roof.
