Take advantage of LightSpeed’s complete packaging services. We’ll put together your publications from initial concept to delivering “camera-ready” files on disc. Let us bring new titles and ideas to your publishing program, or we’ll take your own concepts, develop them, find authors, manage, and edit them. We’ll deliver a polished final draft, fully-produced pages, or electronic files.


Our services let you farm out the specific responsibilities normally performed by in-house project editors and production coordinators. We have years of experience at managing authors, and we have a top-notch group of contracting editors, desktop publishers, designers, artists, photographers, proofreaders, indexers, and technical reviewers. We'll provide and supervise the services you need to make your publications sparkle!

 Writing and Authors

A solid publication begins with enthusiastic and reliable authors. Whether you need a book, an article, back cover copy, press releases, or rewrites, LightSpeed can do it quickly, accurately, and with pizzazz. We’ll follow the tone and style you prefer. Our writers specialize in accessible, easy-to-understand prose, no matter how complicated the topic, including how-to's, music/pop culture, metaphysical/spiritual, techincal, investigative journalism, fiction, humor, marketing, or just about anything you need. LightSpeed also finds, screens, develops, and signs authors for you. We make sure the job will be finished by lining up backup writers or co-authors for large projects or those with tight deadlines.

Publishers and authors alike appreciate LightSpeed's insightful, helpful, and comprehensive editing. Our editing services span the gamut, including development, content, and copyediting. A tight developmental edit focuses the author, contributes to a strong publication, and prevents problems later on in the production cycle. Our content editors make sure the subject matter is presented in a logical, compelling, and easy-to-follow manner. And, of course, there's nothing more hated than typographical errors–we pride ourselves on being "typo busters."


RoombyRoomKitchens

We provide the look you want or come up with ideas to reflect your own publishing program. Our designers, desktop publishers, and artists are creative, experienced, quick, flexible, and responsive. We work in InDesign, Photoshop, QuarkXPress, Illustrator, and, yes, we still have artists capable of hand illustration! Our photographers can shoot anything you need to enhance your publications.



Mazes

We have a decade and a half of experience solving the problems that can hinder the progress of a publication, from project scheduling to graphics reproduction glitches and file incompatibilities. We can give you tighter control of your publications and show you how to produce them more quickly than is possible inhouse.

As a high-tech packager, we can create e-books for the latest platforms and provide Web sites that support your publications, as well as CD/DVD components to offer additional content to your readers. We make sure your multimedia conveys the image you want, and we assure that our electronic files will work in the format you need.
