Printers
Many editors of academic journals pay too much for printing. The following are three printers who are particularly good at inexpensively printing academic journals with small print runs (2,000 or less). Please note that it is not necessary to live or work near your printer. I have worked for many years with the first printer on the list, which is in Michigan. All printers now have websites where you can request a bid on the cost of printing your journal.

Freelancers
It is important, when hiring a freelancer to work on the design or production of your journal, to find someone with experience in laying out books. Many graphic designers do not know how to lay out a book or journal, which is quite different from laying out an advertisement, brochure, or magazine. You will often do better with freelancers who are typesetters or book producers than with graphic designers. The same is true for copyeditors. It is best to hire someone familiar with copyediting books or journals rather than newspapers or newsletters.

Finding a Freelance Copyeditor

If you are interested in recommendations, you can e-mail me for the names of good freelance typesetters, book designers, copyeditors, and so on. If you are interested in getting on my list of good freelancers, please contact me. Those on my list have either worked for me directly or passed a test I designed for the UCLA Campus Editors and Writers group.

Two freelancers I recommend whole-heartedly are Catherine Sunshine at csunshine[at]igc.org, an expert copyeditor and substantive editor, and William Morosi at william.morosi[at]verizon.net, a graphic designer with long experience in designing and laying out academic journals, briefs, newsletters and so on. I have worked with both for a number of years and have always found them to have remarkable integrity and punctuality, as well as extremely fair rates.
