Textbook re-editioning for the Irish curriculum

The series of books that we helped re-edition takes students through the Junior Cycle to the Leaving Certificate Examination via a series of worked examples, problem exercises, technical illustrations, and explanatory text. On this project, we acted as subject-expert editorial managers, which involved overseeing a re-design, significant rewriting of content, and an overall streamlining and modernisation of the books' approaches to each course.

Our client had no dedicated subject expertise within their in-house team, and so our primary objective was to provide this subject expertise, whilst also acting as editorial managers in such a way that worked with the teams and processes already in place on the project.

As part of this editorial management role, we helped devise and develop a consistent mathematical style; we copy edited and proofread all new author-written content, working with authors and advisors as we did so. We worked closely with the client’s in-house editor to carry a total of 59 chapters of text and solutions through a number of proof stages, from first author draft through to final delivery.
