Digital Publishing & Accessibility Consultant
Working in digital publishing for over 15 years, I have the knowledge and experience to help optimise your workflows and help prepare your content for present and future.
Specialising in workflow optimisation, vendor management, training, accessibility transformation and compliance, I can help your organisation be ready for whatever comes down the line.
Services
Digital Publishing Workflow Optimisation
Having worked in many varying and complex publishing workflows, I have the knowledge and experience to analyse your current systems and practices, and work with you and your stakeholders to generate radical - but always practical - efficiencies, plans and solutions.
With my deep and broad range of industry contacts and links to the most innovative publishing and technology companies, and extensive experience managing service vendors and QA, I can help you build the key relationships and systems that will turn the remarkable into the everyday.
Accessibility Consulting
Making content robustly accessible isn't just the right thing to do - it's usually the law. With countries and institutions around the world adopting accessibility legislation, now is the time to work out your path to your compliance.
I will help you to design and implement practical, ambitious, scalable systems that ensure you have access to as many markets as possible, and do right by your print disabled readers - as well as ensuring your publications enter the data age with all the right ingredients for machine learning and AI, and whatever else the future brings.
Training and Seminars/Webinars
A lively, engaging and communicative trainer, I have extensive experience training people from every part of the publishing value chain, and producing handouts and reference guides that staff can take ownership of and evolve long after I’ve left. I will dive deep into your product or the skill you want your team to have, and ensure they have not just the skills but also have all the bigger questions answered. You can’t train the ‘how’ without the ‘why’.
I bring the same philosophy to seminars and webinars, where I’m frequently asked to speak on accessibility topics and the future of digital publishing.
Service Introductions
Are you offering digital services to the publishing industry? I will bring my experience in talking to stakeholders in all parts of the publishing industry to translate your offering into the language your clients use.
From introducing services, blended webinars and training, as well as sharing products I believe in with my rich network of contacts, I am your ideal partner in approaching UK publishers and related organisations.
“It is a press, certainly, but a press from which shall flow in inexhaustible streams … A spring of truth shall flow from it: like a new star it shall scatter the darkness of ignorance, and cause a light heretofore unknown to shine amongst [humanity].”
