Ask Our Staff: EAs explain Book Packaging

In our EA Roundtable video series, our Asian and Latin American Studies Editor Enrique Ochoa-Kaup talks with Editorial Assistants Aline Dolinh and Chad Attenborough, and Naja Pulliam Collins, a former editorial assistant who is now our Environmental Studies and Geography Editor, about what an EA does and their crucial touchpoints with authors.
In Part 2 of the EA Roundtable we discuss these packaging considerations for scholarly monographs, sharing best practices about working collaboratively to produce a book that everyone can take pride in.
Editorial Assistants also work with authors and internal staff on the packaging of the book. For scholarly monographs, we work with authors to draft the descriptive copy for the back book cover and web page, wrangle blurbs, and often help convey the author’s vision for the cover to the design team.
