We work as a team with the author, the publisher, and the editorial and production staff. When Impressions is asked to manage a project, the Project Coordinator essentially becomes part of the publisher's staff. These services are discussed in more detail in the following section. They know how important it is to be sensitive to the often conflicting needs and desires of the author, the publisher, and the production staff and to be able to work effectively under pressure with a variety of personalities.
Impressions invests a great deal of time and energy in building relationships with publishers.
We need to get to know their people, their communication styles, the degree of involvement they prefer, and their special concerns in order to work effectively with them. Our success in doing this is largely responsible for Impressions' strong growth and the high degree of loyalty we enjoy from our customers. The Project Coordinator is responsible for developing the schedule and making sure that the project stays on track. Scheduling Production he Project Coordinators at Impressions work closely with authors and publishers, as well as the people involved in all phases of production, to come up with a schedule that works as well as possible for everyone while meeting the publisher's print date. It's particularly important to plan shipment of manuscript and page proofs to accommodate the author's schedule.
