PUBLISHING TIPS SOUGHT
Dan Gosling writes: "In preparing a manuscript for publishing
what are the advantages and disadvantages of the various
software programs?I know that many shops are more likely to be able to print
from a Acrobat Portable Document Format (.pdf). Acrobat
can "distill" most files into a .pdf. Would it be better to create
the manuscript using Acrobat as well?The CN Journal, the monthly publication of the Canadian
Numismatic Association is prepared using Quark. Many in
the publishing industry use Mac's and Quark.Most of us are familiar with Microsoft Word and would be
better able to focus on the creation of the content instead of
learning a new software package. However, there is no
guarantee that the printer will have the same version of Word.I would be interested to learn what others have used and
what experiences they have had. Thanks!"Coincidentally, Ron Abler writes: "I have been writing a
reference/catalog on/of American Independence Centennial
Medals. I am at the point where publishing and formatting
considerations suggest that I should be working with a
publisher and/or editor. How does a first-time author go
about seeking a publisher? I would appreciate any and all
advice from you and the members. Thank you."- 2004-09-12
