Publishing with Gill Education

At Gill Education, publishing is a team activity - coordinating and optimising the talents not just of authors and editors, but also of marketing personnel, sales people, and those involved in production, distribution, and support services. Consequently, this collaborative effort results in the published product’s success in the Irish marketplace.

Gill Education personnel provide specialised assistance, which will ensure that the process of writing and publishing your textbook is a trouble free and enjoyable challenge. The key responsibilities of our staff involved in the publishing process are outlined below.

Commissioning Editor
The Commissioning Editor is the author’s main contact, from the very first discussion of the project through to publication and beyond. Gill Education editors work closely with the author to discuss project ideas, assess the viability of proposals, and to develop manuscripts. Personal contact with the author is maintained throughout the life of a project, as the editor is always available to deal with queries.

Production and Editorial
The team will take your manuscript through all stages of editing, page make-up, proofing, indexing and finally, printing. The very experienced designers, copy-editors, typesetters, proofreaders and print buyers are committed to producing the best possible books on time.

Marketing, Sales & Distribution
Our Marketing division is responsible for the promotion and marketing of your book, employing the following methods to ensure complete and effective market penetration.

• Sales representatives pay visits to schools and/or lecturers in academic institutions and also to trade bookshops, to promote new texts.
• A wide range of marketing resources are used, such as advertising, book promotions in conjunction with booksellers and extensive catalogue/ leaflet distribution to schools throughout Ireland.
• Your book is promoted further on our website, which is updated regularly.
• Gill Education employs a team of professional cover designers to create a dynamic ‘look and feel’, to match the fundamental elements of your book.
• An efficient sample copy distribution system is in place to ensure all relevant teachers have an opportunity to inspect your book.
