New World / New Words Finally Being Published?

This project (which I did as a volunteer, to support the mission of the Center for the Art of Translation) has really been moving at a snail’s pace. The publisher was in a big hurry for me to review edits back in September, but the first design pages have only just appeared. I have no idea what was going on in the four intervening months, or when I’ll see proofs. Oh well, at least I’m finally seeing the book announced.

This companion blog to www.rightreading.com explores the full gamut of print and electronic publication, from conception, research, and editing through design, typesetting, and image preparation, through paper, print, and pixel on to marketing and sales. It seeks to integrate the editorial and design functions, which too seldom communicate effectively. Books, authors, translation, and reviewing are also covered.
