Editorial and Pre-Press Services

Typesetting

MBD takes content in the format provided and returns high-quality output that is ready to be printed. We offer the full suite of pre-press services that enable our clients to go from concept to print in the shortest possible time at a competitive cost. Our team has vast experience working with a wide range of applications, including InDesign, PageMaker and Word.

Art Creation and Graphics

Our team of talented illustrators can transform a book’s look and feel with their illustrations and page design. Our Art Team designs pages and creates templates for different projects. It also conceptualises and designs the cover of every title.

Proofreading

As a final step, our professional proofreaders review information on products – from online publications to printed materials – before they are distributed to customers. Using the same guidelines that we use for copy-editing manuscripts, we carefully proof next-to-final copy, ensuring that content is accurate. We are specialists in providing high-quality proofreading services that ensure content is accurate and consistent.

Copy-editing

Our experienced copy editors have deep knowledge of all standard industry style manuals, including AMA, APA, CMS and ACS, and are trained to perform three levels of copy-editing, depending on the needs of the information product. The minimum qualification of our copy-editors is a master’s degree. Our editors are drawn from diverse academic disciplines such as law, medicine, finance, science, humanities, journalism and English literature.

Content Creation

We provide full-service, interactive content creation services for a diverse set of needs including storyboarding, needs analysis, instructional design, scripting, production and proofreading. We also develop content-rich, engaging e-books that embed multimedia resources by repurposing existing core and ancillary print content with client-specified online platforms and web-based portals.

Project Management

Project management services help publishers break free from escalating input costs and ever shrinking time lines while allowing them to publish faster and in multiple formats. From project planning, scheduling and author liaison to coordinating with internal teams, we deploy dedicated project managers for all our clients and provide seamless communication by working around our customers’ time zones.
