What I'm looking for

I am seeking a senior editorial or project management role in educational publishing where I can lead teams, shape curriculum-aligned content, manage budgets and timelines, and drive high-quality textbook production.

I am an experienced development editor and project manager with a long track record in science and engineering textbook publishing. I have led editorial teams, managed production timelines, and overseen profitable textbook and reference book releases.

My background includes detailed curriculum analysis, competitive title research, and close collaboration with authors, reviewers, production, and marketing to ensure pedagogically effective content. I have shaped materials for CBSE and state boards and contributed to competitive exam titles.

I supervise editors, proofreaders, and DTP operators while managing project budgets, scope, and schedules, and I formulate strategies for emerging technologies in science and engineering publishing. I provide constructive feedback to authors and maintain communications with external reviewers to uphold quality standards.

I seek roles where I can apply my editorial expertise and project leadership to deliver high-quality educational products, mentor teams, and drive successful publishing outcomes.
