TITLE MANAGEMENT FOR EDITORIAL

BRIEF DESCRIPTION

Capture title information efficiently and accurately in a single integrated database developed specifically for book publishers. Editors are often the source of much of the bibliographic data, design concepts and descriptive copy for a title. With Title Management, editors can manage this information for their titles in one place, providing them the tools to easily share and communicate the essential details to the rest of the house. By eliminating the myriad documents typically employed, editors can make the necessary investment in capturing information about a title at the time they know it best, then move on to more important endeavors — like acquiring and editing great books.
