1. Identify the type of book project you need to schedule. Production schedules vary according to the type of book, most notably whether it's fiction or nonfiction; one-color or four-color; or has additional elements, such as photo inserts, indexes and appendices.
2. Get the bound-book and final files to manufacturing dates from the manufacturing department. The bound-book date allows you to keep editorial informed on when they can expect finished books to reach. The final files to manufacturing date is a production editor's end date. Work backwards from the final files date when creating the schedule.
Depending on a disposed publishing firm's chain of Order, the managing editor, Industry gaffer, or Industry editor creates a tome's Industry plan. Typically, Industry editors discover the Industry schedules, in that they overhaul as site man and deal in track of editorial, representation, manufacturing, typesetters, indexers and printers. Industry editors gate a tome fini the Industry mode, from manuscript to bound book, and the schedule allows them to keep better track of all the books on which they are working. Some publishing companies have templates on Excel that take into account holidays and adjust dates as you type in schedule information.
4. Distribute the schedule to all relevant parties, both to those in the office also as outside vendors who depend on the schedule to track the book project. Update the schedule as it changes, and redistribute it so everyone is on the same page as to where a project has lagged and why.
