What Ed Avis can do for you

Consider Ed your trusted, experienced friend in the publishing industry. He can effectively handle an editorial project for you, even on short notice. Or you can ask him to evaluate your current operation and prepare a thorough improvement plan for you. You can even ask him to help you implement that plan. In any case, you will enjoy working with an experienced professional who knows the importance of quality.

Association publishing can be profitable!

As an association, you have a unique relationship with key people in your industry. That can mean profits for your publishing division. On the other hand, you probably compete with commercial publishers who know more about publishing than you do. Tip the scales in your favor by asking Ed Avis to prepare a strategy for you. He was on the publishing staff of the American College of Healthcare Executives, the Society of Professional Journalists, and the International Reprographics Association, so he understands the special challenges and opportunities of association publishing. And he founded two commercial publishers and worked for two others, so he knows what your commercial competitors are doing. Let him create a strategy for you that combines the best of both!
