Editorial preparation
Tracked changes, consistency and style sheet, source flags, and author approval.
A Hebrew–English book production atelier
Books made with textual care.
Editing, bilingual typesetting, print preflight, and physical proofs for educational and communal books that deserve more than an automated export.

Why an atelier
Some books resist generic production.
Hebrew and English do more than face opposite directions. They create intricate relationships between quotations, notes, punctuation, tables, and teaching prompts. The work is editorial, typographic, and deeply practical.
The ordinary handoff
“The PDF passed preflight, but the sources moved, the footnotes reversed, and no one noticed until the books arrived.”
A printer validates the file. It does not validate the reading experience.
The considered page
לֹא עָלֶיךָ הַמְּלָאכָה לִגְמוֹר
Source lockApproved quotations remain protected through editing and layout.
DirectionFootnotes, numerals, punctuation, and reading order are checked in context.
ProofA physical copy closes the loop before release.
The work
One accountable production package.
Designed for workbooks, readers, sourcebooks, haggadot, teacher guides, and educational titles with mixed Hebrew–English content.
Bilingual typesetting
RTL/LTR text, niqqud, footnotes, tables, headings, and teaching activities.
Print preflight
Fonts, images, margins, bleed, reading order, and platform preview.
Physical proof
One printed proof, one correction round, and final production masters.
The sequence
Deliberately controlled.
Fourteen business days is the production target for a manuscript that fits the founding pilot. Complex editing or specialist Hebrew review receives its own schedule.
Understand the manuscript
We inspect a representative file, identify production and rights risks, recommend the book format, and create 6–10 sample pages.
Approve before locking
AI assists with error detection; a human remains accountable. You approve substantive edits before final typesetting.
Close the physical loop
We preflight the files, inspect one printed proof, apply the agreed correction round, and release masters.
Founding engagement
Begin with the evidence.
$195 credited toward production

Questions
Before the work begins.
Is the book edited by AI?
AI assists with consistency, grammar, and error detection. A human reviews its suggestions, and you approve substantive changes. This is not automated publishing.
Do you certify Hebrew or religious content?
We preserve approved source text and check production accuracy. Language, translation, theological, and halachic review require a qualified named specialist.
Who retains ownership?
You retain the manuscript, production files, ISBN, and platform accounts. There is no proprietary lock-in.
What remains outside the pilot?
Ghostwriting, custom illustration, indexing, translation, marketing, inventory, and continuing fulfilment are separately scoped or deferred.
