    Faenum Publishing is an independent, open-access publisher, focusing on Classical texts and commentaries. We are interested in creating and disseminating work that falls outside the purview of traditional academic publishing. While no author or text is out of bounds, we look for works that fall outside the traditional canon of study, aiming to make a broad selection of premodern literature available to a wider and more diverse audience. - Operate desktop publishing software and equipment to design, lay out, and produce camera-ready copy for ancient language textbooks.- Typeset text and position figures and art elements from a variety of sources in a visually appealing way to design print media and electronic editions, using knowledge of type styles and size and layout patterns.- Evaluate book proposals and edit manuscript submissions as part of editorial team.- Research, obtain, and evaluate suitability of primary source material (manuscripts, images, art, etc.) for use in publications.- Represent press at academic and professional conferences.- Develop and maintain relationships with university staff and faculty, both as customers and client authors. - Designed and coded a software system to facilitate the creation of educational media for ancient languages through complex natural language processing (e.g. stemming/lemmatization, frequency analysis, automated lexicographic functions).
