‘What makes it work for us is the flexibility’

In the spirit of BookMachine Campus, ‘a community for curious publishing professionals’, we’re sharing a clip from a BookMachine conversation between Sunrise Setting’s Jessica Stock, Cambridge University Press’s Katy McIntosh, BookMachine’s Aimee Dewar and Lumina Datamatics’ Deborah Harman, all about using onshore and offshore services in tandem.

You can access the full conversation here, along with other online resources and events, by signing up to Campus. And if, like CUP, you’d like to talk to Sunrise Setting about picking and choosing onshore and offshore services, we’ll be at London Book Fair next week, 12–14 March, on stand 3B19, on the first floor.

Talk to just one company about onshore and offshore

As Lumina Datamatics’ onshore editorial and project-management division, Sunrise Setting is the only company you need to talk to in order to integrate onshore and offshore services.

Elsewhere on the site we’ve highlighted four of the ways in which specialist onshore editorial and project management work really well with offshore streamlining to improve turnaround times, author satisfaction and, ultimately, the bottom line. We’ll be talking more about these at London Book Fair – just come and see us on stand 3B19, or email us beforehand at enquiries@sunrise-setting.co.uk.

Next week, next year

Sunrise Setting will be open from Wednesday 27 to Friday 29 December, but we’ll be operating at minimum capacity and won’t be fully up and running again until 2 January.

All the very best for Christmas and for 2024.

Onshore and offshore: a #BookMachine discussion

Join our own Jessica Stock this Thursday (13 April), when she’ll be talking with Katy McIntosh of Cambridge University Press & Assessment and Lumina Datamatics’ Deborah Harman about onshore and offshore services for academic publishers, including how CUP are currently making the most of both.

The event is part of #BookMachine’s series of briefing discussions, and it’s free to attend.  Just register here.

See you on stand 3B19

London Book Fair 2023 will be a first for Sunrise Setting: we’ll be exhibiting as part of Lumina Datamatics.

Plus ça change… just as in previous years, we’re looking forward to talking about how we can help you with book and journal copy-editing and project management. And this year we’re especially keen to talk about developmental editing, something we’ve found ourselves doing more of in response to both publishers’ and individual authors’ requests. We’d be happy to talk about educational publishing, too, as we’re currently project managing exam papers and apprenticeship syllabuses (or, if you’d sooner, syllabi) for customers, as well as copy-editing textbooks.

Just drop us a line before the show if there’s anything you’d like us to think about in advance. And see you on stand 3B19, which is on the first floor.

Monday 19 September

This is just a quick note to say that Sunrise Setting will be closed for the bank holiday in the UK at the start of next week. We’ll be back at work on Tuesday morning.

London Book Fair 2022

Time and the pandemic: the former has always gone by in the blink of an eye, but one of the latter’s milder conditions has been thinking otherwise, that time’s just trundling along.

Or: how is London Book Fair less than a month away?

If you’ll be there with an eye on increasing or diversifying your onshore copy-editing or project-management capacity, it’d be great to see you. Our stand is part of the IPG’s bigger stand (6E70/7E50), and we’ll be there on all three days.

On the first of those, the Tuesday, there are two people offering to get a grip on time. Shame the afternoon will probably have disappeared before we remember.

European Respiratory Society

As you’d expect, the last twelve months have been really important ones for the ERS, and we’re glad to have been able to help them add to their copy-editing capacity.

‘Sunrise helped us scale up our publishing output quickly when there was a sudden increase in workload during 2020, enabling us to hold down our lagtime without sacrificing quality. They were adaptable and responsive to feedback, and we’re very pleased with the outcome.’ Matt Broadhead, ERS
