Communication Is Key
Besides editing and proofing, my favorite aspect of this internship has been communicating with various authors and the occasional typesetter and publishing company representative. Editors can sometimes be isolated, working on books without communicating with anyone outside the office (which, in FiT's case, has very few employees), so emailing with other people involved in the process provides an opportunity for extra social interaction. There are also some circumstances that require making phone calls when email addresses are outdated.
So far, I've found that most people are courteous, helpful, and even friendly--especially authors. At one point, I had to research some authors who would potentially write blurbs for Boomercise, FiT's upcoming book about exercise for the aging population. Once I found some authors who had written similar books, I emailed them to ask whether they would be interested in contributing a sentence or two of praise for the book, to be published on the back cover. The authors that I contacted were very nice and all agreed to contribute a quote (unfortunately only one followed through).
One of the authors had a question about what compensation he would receive for contributing a blurb--an awkward question since I was pretty sure that there was no monetary payment. I checked with my supervisors and ended up spinning the answer in a way that was hopefully not disappointing to the author. My reply was:
"We sincerely thank you for taking the time to write a blurb for Boomercise. In terms of an honorarium, we will include your name and the name of your published work(s) on the back cover of the book, as well as on our website, fitinfotech.com. We can include a hyperlink on the website that will take readers directly to a page where they can purchase your publication. We will also mail a complimentary copy of the book to you upon its completion."
He seemed to understand and accept the answer, and I hope that he was pleased with the attention that his publications will receive by appearing on the book cover and our website. It's unlikely that a huge number of people will buy his books because of his contribution, but I feel that the free book and publicity are good compensation for the blurb.
One other example of the many email conversations I've had is one with a typesetter that FiT works with often. We're in the process of publishing the 4th edition of a book called Group Dynamics, and there were some extra edits that needed to be typeset. I sent them to the typesetter, who had a few questions about the corrections:
"I got into the additional corrections, and realized I never received the Index or About the Authors. If you have them, can you send them over? We'll have to be careful--the page numbers changed toward the end. I'll review the "GroupDynamics-Book-0707.pdf" and see where that left off. Sorry for the confusion!"
I checked with Matt and found out that the index and about the authors sections still needed to be proofread, so I told the typesetter that we would send them as soon as possible. He actually found a couple of errors, too--a reference out of alphabetical order and a name that had been consistently misspelled (something that happens more often than I thought it would). We had a brief discussion about the errors; I always enjoy talking to people who work in publishing, face the same complications as editors, and understand why it's funny that authors misspell each other's names constantly.
The only time that I've had to make calls to people during my internship was when we were trying to update author bio information for around 40 authors whose various articles are being compiled into a comprehensive sport marketing handbook. Some of the articles are 20 years old, and many of the authors have retired or moved on to different universities. I called the last known university where each of the 'lost' authors had worked, looking for information about where they had moved or any information that could be included in the updated author bios. This communication was probably the most unpleasant overall, since many of the people who I talked to were either unhelpful, rude, or both. There were, however, a few people who understood that I wasn't trying to inconvenience them and tried to the best of their abilities to help.
We ended up getting some updated email addresses, information on a couple of authors who had retired, and a lot of dead ends through our research over the phone and online. One author actually emailed us back to ask that her name be removed from the publication, with no explanation. We removed it, but I still wonder why she wouldn't want her name attached to it--the article was actually very good. Another author had moved to a university in Australia, according to his former employer, and we ended up finding his current email address through the Australian university's website.
I never really considered how difficult it would be to keep updated contact information on every author who publishes an article or book through a company, but then again, I hadn't considered the possibility of republishing 20-year-old articles. Overall, I like communicating with various people, even when they are less than polite; it provides a sometimes-welcome break from hours of editing and helps to build relationships and rapport with both clients and associates.

The Small Things
Of the many reasons that I've enjoyed my internship at FiT so much this summer, one of the most important is that I've learned so much about various details and intricacies of the publishing world. There are numerous small facets of publishing a book that few people realize.
For example, copyright is an often time-consuming part of publishing. One task that I was given was to complete copyright agreement forms to send to the authors of a book of articles. The agreements basically said that copyright for the articles and the book itself would belong to FiT, and that the authors would receive an honorarium for their articles. It seems like it would be tedious to fill out forms for 20 different authors, but it required some level of concentration to make sure, for legal purposes, that the names were spelled correctly and that the correct article name was matched with each author. Some of the best moments of my days at FiT are when I catch something that someone else in my position may have overlooked. I'm a procrastinator, but when I do work, I'm very thorough and meticulous, so this happens often. In this case, I noticed a section almost at the end of the copyright agreements as I was skimming through it to make sure that no blanks were left unfilled. It was a section about possible future electronic versions of the publication, and when I brought it to Matt's attention, it turned out that he had no idea that it was in the document. I ended up deleting the entire section and adjusting the section numbers on the agreements, feeling great about catching something potentially important.
Not only the authors have to worry about copyright, however. I'm in the process of trying to get information about a figure being published in one of FiT's new books. The figure is from a book published originally by Human Kinetics, and I had to fill out a copyright request form online to obtain permissions from them to republish the figure. However, the page number where the original figure appeared in the HK publication was unknown, so I had to email the author to ask, but he's out of town and can't find the information until Thursday. The HK representative is being very patient, but it's still a little stressful to have to wait, knowing that the book is so close to being published. I've been keeping this issue in the back of my mind for a couple of weeks now so that it isn't overlooked. I'm not sure how much it could cost a publishing company that infringes upon copyright in that way, but I also don't want to find out from experience.
Another facet of publishing that people don't often think about is the physical properties of a book. Should it be small or large? Printed on pure white paper or slightly darker or with a yellow tinge? Should the paper be thin and delicate or thick and sturdy? Should there be color anywhere within the book? Should the cover be matte or glossy? What font should be used for the cover and the actual text of the book? I had a conversation with Matt about all these issues that I had never really considered before. Some of the decisions made about these details are practically made, like choosing a glossy cover for a particular textbook because scratches show less on that type of material, and the books are likely to be carried frequently and damaged. Other times, a decision is made for aesthetic purposes, like to contribute to the overall 'feel' of the book--for instance, one sport coach biography that FiT published was meant to have an antiquated feel, so the paper selected had an old-time tan color. I love these small details because they contribute so much to the finished product without being obvious to most people.
The third often-overlooked detail of publishing that I've learned about is ISBN codes. Everyone always sees these codes on everything they purchase, including books, but few people wonder how each code is kept unique and about the challenges that publishers face when dealing with them. The codes are purchased for something like $1 each from a company that is responsible for all of the United States' ISBN codes. Publishers buy them in bulk, maybe 50 or 100 at a time, and receive a sheet with each ISBN and a blank next to it for the title of the book that goes with the code. Sometimes the title of a book changes halfway through publication, which can create confusion when sorting through ISBNs to see whether a code has been assigned to the book yet. Another issue that publishers face is printing the ISBNs directly onto the back cover of books. If the ISBN code is left off, or if there is a problem with it and the bookstore has to place ISBN stickers on the books, it can be very costly to the publisher. For example, if FiT sent 1000 copies of a publication to a bookstore and there was a problem with the ISBN, the bookstore would charge FiT for each ISBN sticker that had to be placed on the books before they could be sold. This can cost thousands of dollars, depending on how much the bookstore charges (sometimes a dollar per sticker) and how many copies the store was sent.
While the publishing world is hectic and often disorganized, I'm surprised to say that I really love it. I always thought that having a thousand details floating around in the air at any given time would be annoying, but it just adds to the excitement of working at a publishing company. It's great to follow a book through the lengthy publication process, then finally hold the finished product and know that I was part of creating it. I'm finding that I can't wait for the rest of my career to unfold.

Major Projects
My time at FiT since my last post has been hectic and full of exciting new tasks and projects. I finished the blog post that I mentioned in my last entry here, and it's been posted to the FiT blog. Writing the post helped me to understand journalistic writing and how it differs from other styles. I've never taken a journalism class (unless we're counting Yearbook in high school), so it's a challenge to switch to a less formal style. I'm not entirely satisfied with the first post, but I had a chance to try again with a new post, and I'm much happier with the results. The second post I wrote is called "The Moneyball Revolution." It deals with the new sports movie, Moneyball, which is being released soon. It's based on a book about the sabermetric approach to sports recruiting and how the approach contributed to the success of the Oakland Athletics baseball team. I feel that this post is much more 'journalistic' in tone than the first one, although I would still like to improve with the next one that I write. I also like this post more because it required much less editing, and I posted it myself, including the video and photo. I was also able to learn about WordPress, which I'd never used before.
This time has also been exciting because I was given my first few 'major' projects, one of which is now completed. I was asked to write an index for a new book, Boomercise: Exercising as You Age. I'd never worked on an index before, so Matt and I had a conversation about the basics, and I read the Chicago Manual chapter on indexing before I started the project. I've used a lot of indexes, but I never appreciated how challenging it can be to compose one. There are so many things to take into consideration: When a particular term is mentioned in the text, is it discussed at enough length to warrant mentioning in the index? What terms will the intended audience be most likely to look up--the official term or a more informal term? What subjects will the intended audience want to quickly reference? I actually liked the project more than I thought I would. It took a long time to complete, but it was fun to learn about the formatting of an index, which is surprisingly specific. There are more ways to format one than I knew about, and I enjoyed learning about FiT's style. The most interesting tip I learned was that using too many tabs can create problems for the typesetter because they have to delete excessive spaces and tabs to make sure that everything lines up when the book is printed.
I'm currently proofreading a book on sport financing, a compilation of 28 articles on the subject. I'm about 100 pages into the 400-page manuscript, and when I finish proofreading it, I'll begin creating its index. The entire project has to be finished by the end of this month, but I hope to have it finished within the next couple of weeks so that I can make some progress on the third project, a 460-page book that needs to be copy edited. I'm definitely looking forward to continuing my work on both of these projects--this internship is continuously confirming to me that this career path was the perfect choice.
I'll write more about the smaller, but equally valuable projects that I've been working on, as well as some fun information I've learned about the publishing process.

First 2 Weeks
The first couple of weeks at my internship have been wonderful. I've already learned valuable information about editing and the larger process of publishing.
On the first day of my internship, I began working on a large project, a book that has been in the works for about two years so far. The book is called The New Sport and Exercise Psychology Companion and is a compilation of about 27 articles by various academics in the field. First, I edited the author and editor biographies, checking for consistency of font style, spelling, punctuation, etc. I went over the changes with my supervisor, Matt, and asked some questions about FiT's policy on some editing choices (for instance, they choose not to use any punctuation in "PhD").
Matt gave me a folder of emails from the authors detailing their own edits to their respective articles, which I transcribed onto a printed manuscript. The manuscript already had marks on it from another editor, so I used his marks as a reference for how to do my own. Since the pages are not double-spaced, FiT editors have a sort of hybrid system--they put some form of the editor's mark within the text and write the full marks to the side of the text. For example, if one line of text needs a word inserted and a word deleted, the marks in text would be an insertion carrot ^ and a deletion mark through the appropriate word. To the side of that line of text would be the insertion carrot along with the inserted word, followed by a dividing line ("|") and the deletion mark again.
The process of transcribing the author edits onto the manuscript was a surprisingly lengthy job, especially since the book is about 600 pages long and the authors' edits were often inconsistent, incorrect, or confusing. The process of transcribing these edits carried over into the second and third days of my internship. Throughout the transcription, I kept notes about the edits I wasn't sure of, as well as any questions that the original editor had written on the manuscript, and questions from the authors.
When I finished transcribing all of the authors' edits, I went over my notes with Matt and finished up the remaining edits. One of the original editor's notes was about a "widow," a term that I was unfamiliar with before this internship. I learned that a "widow" is a single line of text at the end of a page (such as the beginning of a new paragraph that continues on the next page), and an "orphan" is a single line of text at the beginning of a page (the dangling end of a paragraph from a previous page).
During the fourth day of the internship, I learned about the new blog that FiT has recently created, www.thesportsiq.com. Aaron, my other supervisor, showed me the website and explained the style of the articles--off-beat, interesting material that isn't likely to be talked about in mainstream sports news. The new blog is less formal than the previous one, which included interviews and more in-depth analyses of sports news. He also explained which pictures are acceptable to use (about 540-550 X 750 pixels) and gave me a website that he and Matt typically use to obtain stock photos--Flickr's Creative Commons page. I was familiar with how to search for photos that we could use because Creative Commons was covered in my Multimedia Writing class last semester.
We also discussed "blurbs," the complimentary quotes on book jackets from notable sources. A book that FiT is publishing, called Boomercise: Exercising as You Age, is nearly completed, and FiT is beginning to look for notable people in the field who can contribute blurbs. For the remainder of my fourth day, I worked on a story for the blog about alcohol consumption at national sporting events and the possibility of WVU's allowing beer to be sold at university sporting events. I also drafted an email to send to prospective blurb contributors. Unfortunately, yesterday's storm caused the Coliseum's power to go out, and everyone went home early, so I was unable to complete the blog post or go over the blurb email with Aaron.
My next day is on Tuesday and I'm very excited to return. This internship is making me more and more sure that I've chosen a field that will interest me for years to come. In my next post, I'll talk more about the blog post, which I will have finished by then, and I'll provide a link to the story on FiT's blog. I'll also talk more about the responses we receive to the blurb emails (hopefully people actually respond) and any other work that I complete during the next few internship days.
Till next time,
