Book Series
Creative Enterprises has produced a number of book series for various publishers. Series demand ongoing consistency in editorial style, interior and cover design, text quality, and voice. A series schedule also often requires that we meet a strict set of deadlines for months and years. Challenging? Yes. And we love it! Here are a few of the series we have helped to produce.
