BOOKPAGE

BookPage is a book review and recommendation guide published monthly that reaches over 400,000 readers in print and 1,00,000 readers online. The publication has author interviews, illustrator spotlights, and over 60 book reviews per issue. All titles covered are new books being published that month. As the Brand and Production Manager at BookPage, I designed three versions of the issue each month and coordinated the print production with two separate printers. The three versions include a library version, an indie bookstore version, and a Books-A-Million version. The design to print process includes placing copy in the layout, designing spreads, designing the cover, placing ads, exporting copy to InCopy for proofing by the editors, creating wall proofs for further proofing, and exporting and uploading the issue to the print portal.
