Mary Robinson is a print production editor and has been trading as such since 1989. She processes and lays out complementary words and pictures for the printed page, books, journals, leaflets and newsletters, taking them from manuscript through Adobe InDesign CS, to press and publication. She can obtain quotations on your behalf from a number of printers with whom she has worked, including print on demand. She can provide RGB visuals, layout proofs up to A3, PDFs or other electronic files of text – whatever you need – or can FTP directly to your site.  

  

Mary's rare ability is to combine the tasks of copy editing with typesetting, layout and project management. Her long experience binds together her many skills in editorial and print production. Mary has much experience with maths setting, econometrics and other academic texts; she specialises in French and can typeset in other European languages. She is familiar with the workings of the EU.

"Geoff Lockett and I have worked with Mary Robinson for half a decade in the copy-editing and production of The Journal of Management Studies. On both counts her work has been exemplary - in terms of quality of editing and responsiveness to deadlines, I would go as far as saying that we would be lost without her." Karen Legge, Co-editor JMS, Professor in Behaviour in Organizations, Management School, University of Lancaster

"The demanding task of preparing this book [Montaigne's Annotated Copy of Lucretius] for publication was undertaken by Mary Robinson, a friend of long standing who was a student of mine at University College London. Throughout the whole enterprise she has shown intelligence, vigilance, ingenuity and extraordinary patience, all seasoned with a sense of humour. My gratitude to her is profound." Professor Mike Screech, Wolfson College, Oxford

"Mary Robinson must be one of the world's best desk editors: her patience, thoroughness and mastery of an immensely complex editorial process can only be marvelled at." Tony Culyer, author of Economics
