Now that we have all met Alicia, it’s time to introduce Liz, our newest recruit and new Production Editor.

Before joining emc design you worked at The Outlook Creative Group, what did you do there and how has it prepared you for your role at emc?

At Outlook I proofread, checked and wrote copy for videos, animations, events materials, blog posts, email marketing and brochures. This role provided great in-house experience of a busy design agency and working collaboratively with designers to ensure accuracy and consistency. Before that I was Assistant Editor at Cambridge Publishing Management, project managing and editing online and print materials from manuscript to final delivery.

As well as learning editorial skills and how to be organised, flexible and proactive, I gained an understanding of ELT and education publishing and its products, challenges and expectations.

How are you finding emc so far?

It’s great! The whole team are so friendly, and very hardworking and talented – we definitely go above and beyond for every client. I’ve enjoyed learning more about photo research, book design and the design process, and getting involved in managing multi-component courses. Every day is different at emc.
