I also have experience working with researchers to take their Word documents and creating books. I’m happy to assist with:
-editing the raw manuscript
-formatting and organizing
-formatting and editing the images
-creating new images
-guiding through the publishing process
While working for the University of Maryland, I assisted a 94-year-old oceanographer in turning his Word document into a published book. The project involved copyediting, content formatting and layout (InDesign), visual editing (Illustrator and Photoshop), visualization creation (Illustrator), and book publishing.
Below are additional examples of books I assisted with while working for University of Maryland:
