omposition: the process of arranging the elements of a page in preparation for publishing. Scriptoria is your single source for book, journal, newsletter, magazine, directory, and report composition. We also provide special project and advertising design, layout and production management. Consistency, quality and timely delivery are the primary concerns of today's publisher. Our composition processes are designed to meet those needs, page after page and publication after publication. Managing the Elements If composition was just a matter of formatting text, then most of us could produce our documents in-house. But the publications most organizations create today aren't just text. A typical publication uses photographs, charts, illustrations, tables, forms, figures, graphs and formulas to enhance and amplify the core text. Combining all of those elements into an effective page layout takes a skilled artisan using the latest technology. We can also provide supplemental production services, such as editing and redactory, word processing, manuscript revision, manuscript/proof tracking and distribution, imposition, and print production. Some services (such as generating "run sheets" for press imposition) are included at no extra charge. Scriptoria is the source for all of your production and composition needs. Managing the Process All of our composition services are customized to match your needs, your organizational culture and your workflow preferences. Simply put, we modify our production processes to fit the way you like to work. Do you need extra page proofs? A second proofreader? Would you like to have pages posted in PDF format on a secure web site so that authors in remote locations can view them? No problem. Let us help you find the right package of services and production solutions to meet your needs. Providing consistent service from issue to issue is what we do best. As we learn more about your needs, we continually look for new ways to lower costs, improve service and expedite delivery. Your other vendors will appreciate working with us, too—our experience and technical knowledge means your files and pages are transmitted to third party suppliers with fewer errors. That means lower costs and faster turnaround in the manufacturing process. We maintain consistency by assigning production specialists on a permanent basis. Your production team will have a detailed understanding of the nuances of your editorial and stylistic preferences, giving you a "typesetter with an editor's eye" that ensures continuity across every article and issue.
