    I am based in London, United Kingdom and have been providing freelance independent publishing services since 1993.

    I specialise in providing publishing support services and technical authoring services.

    :: Publishing support services

    *Design, typesetting and dtp for books, magazines, newsletters, brochures, leaflets;
    *Graphic design for books, magazines, trade directories, marketing collateral;
    *Template design for whole range of publications, MAC or PC, most page layout and graphic programs;
    *Database and XML publishing, design and typesetting for books, catalogues and trade directories;
    *Electronic publishing to pdf, ePUB, iPad and Kindle.
    *Publishing process design: custom-built toolbox including templates, process and script development, artwork preparation and output, instructions or training;

    I am able to provide services on the PC and MAC platform and possess many years experience in a wide range of page layout and graphic programs. I have expert knowledge of Indesign and Adobe Design suite, Quarkxpress, Framemaker, MS Word and Office suite.
    Many of my clients come from a non-publishing background so I also provide the support needed in understanding and developing the processes and can offer training. I take into account client's knowledge and skill set, budget and printing methods required.
    My clients are typically looking to outsource work where:

    *specialist typesetting knowledge of a particular software package is required;
    *knowledge of specific publishing method is required, such as database or XML publishing;
    *expertise in producing long or complex material;
    *re-purposing documents into electronic format such as pdf and ePUB.

    :: Technical authoring services

    *Technical authoring using Framemaker (structured and unstructured), MS Word, Indesign, Quarkxpress and Corel Ventura;
    *Technical writing and illustration, creating new documentation;
    *Localisation, typesetting manuals in different languages.

    I have many years experience in publishing technical manuals, user guides, installation and operating manuals and training handbooks. I am able to combine solid technical knowledge with the aesthetics of good design and usability. I work closely with engineers and marketing to ensure the publication meets the needs of the user as well as the branding needs of the customer.

    I aim my services to be:

    *Fast, accurate and reliable;
    *Pro-active: I will ask questions, advise or make suggestions on publishing matters;
    *Helpful and informative;
    *Work as a partner: a little cliché but when I take a job on board I consider myself to be working with the same objectives as my clients;
    *Independent: select the best tools for the job and budget.

    Area Covered: Design, typesetting and dtp for books, magazines, newsletters, brochures, leaflets; Template design for whole range of publications, MAC or PC, most page layout and graphic programs; Database and XML publishing, design and typesetting for books, catalogue

      Theresa really went the extra mile and worked hard to meet important deadlines. Despite this, the quality and thoroughness of her work coupled with creativity and yet keeping closely to the brief were admirable. Thanks.
