Background

They're playing a middleman role. Their products are not going to be sold on shelves, but they're helping people whose products will be sold on shelves.

Bill Owens, CEO, Nortel Corporation, 2004–5

I have worked as a freelance project manager since the early 1990s, focusing on the pre-press preparation of academic books. This work has supplemented my previous experience as an in-house editorial controller at George Allen & Unwin.

Online collaboration

I am a registered user of Collanos WorkPlace, a software program that allows collaborative team-working across the Internet between remote locations. Collanos has proved valuable in the past at the proof collation stage of a large encyclopaedic dictionary project. Users can share access to files, and can exchange real-time messages.
