Book project managers guide authors through the creative, administrative, and financial aspects of projects from the earliest versions to delivery of the finished product — and beyond. After the author and project manager agree on how they will work together, they proceed through the editorial, design, and production phases. Most book project managers hire and negotiate with vendors on necessary services (copyediting, proofreading, cover and interior design, printing), and establish production schedules and fees, all with author approval. Many managers also offer guidance and referrals for marketing and promotion, crucial to success in today's complex and fast-changing publishing world.
