Deanta provides on-shore and off-shore publishing project management through high-level publishing professionals, who operate as an extension of the publisher’s production team. Project managers at Deanta are not just fully-trained and qualified, but also have a deep understanding of the nature of publishing as an industry, and where production sits in the chain. They are more than technical operators: they are intuitive, content-focused professionals with excellent communications skills and, in addition to many other soft skills, have the capacity to make key decisions and take accountability.
A solid editorial background
All Deanta Project Managers have a solid editorial background, with a detailed knowledge of all aspects of language copy editing and publisher-specific style guidelines. This gives them the leverage to take full control of their projects, down to the finest details.

This service is customised based on the authors’ availability and competency, as well as the various requirements of the publisher. We deliver timely services and communication to the authors globally, regardless of difference in time zones.
Digital Deliverables
Deanta supplies a final deliverable package of the production and core assets upon completion of every project. This package includes the final print and electronic products (print PDF, ePDF, XML, ePub and Mobi files) along with their supporting files (application files, art files, etc.) that could be used for future editions.
Our Lanstad platform can directly deliver key milestones throughout your project to suit specific publishing goals.
