Publishing and editorial
services
Book sales help keep Alan and his mates at 'Enabler' in a few
beers or ciders, but it is through offering publishing and writing
services that the bills get paid! Customers include: the Joseph
Rowntree Foundation, the Chartered Institute of Housing, the Council
for Environmental education, universities and charities such as
Save the Children.
Getting a book from the ideas stage through to a printed, all-singing
and dancing publication in the warehouse (or shed), requires all
of the following stages. Enabler could help you with all or any
of them!
- Finding authors and discussing ideas and subjects for potential
publications.
- Setting up contracts with authors and fixing timescales.
- Commissioning artists, illustrators, designers and photographers.
- Undertaking or commissioning any necessary research.
- Copy editing.
- Typesetting and graphic design.
- Proof reading.
- Print buying.
Alan has, in past lives, been a publisher with the Scottish Office,
Longman, Pitman and Russell House Publishing. His specialist areas
of publishing have included:
- Social Work
- Youth and Community Work
- Education
- Crime
- Drugs
- Housing
- Health and medical titles
- The counterculture/direct action/protest world
Research and writing
For over twenty years plus, Alan has worked with over a thousand
authors and partner organisations to produce books, reports and
other publications. This network of writers and researchers has
enabled (hence the name of the company!) Alan to work
on a very considerable range of projects, often concurrently.
At the time of updating this page, for instance, work is being
undertaken on five books ranging from specialist materials for
work in relation to anti-social behaviour, more reports on mixed
income new build estates, a social history about alternative Netherlands
and, and………….the Youth Africa Music Experience….and
more!
