Lessons from “The Mayor”
Internal Review • Reviewers comprised of industry experts (MAs) and instructors• Chapters came back from copyeditors and massaged by Morgan• “But you didn’t cover xyz!”
Timing • Project ran through academic year • Reviewers notes after copyediting but before proofing = hours of extra work logging changes • “Is my chapter ready yet?”
Images• Education process for authors on images and attributions (not even Vikram himself can approve it!) • “Can’t you find a better picture for?”
Citations and Style• Great to have different perspectives/authors, hard for momentum• Very few instructors are good at citations!
