• Managing Editor

  • Oct 2013 - Present

  As managing editor I oversee Figure 1's book publishing projects. I create editorial and production schedules, assign freelance work and monitor budgets. I work with printers on quoting, proofing, printing and shipping, and manage ebook and audiobook production. I'm responsible for compiling project specs, maintaining a metadata database and recording book data with Library and Archives Canada (ISBN, CIP, legal deposit). I love to build systems and improve workflows to support communication and efficiency. Show less
