Know the Professionals Who Contributed to This Book!
This English book, and the books you use to learn in all your classes, were made through the collaboration of several different professionals. First, authors were hired. In the case of the English books, these authors are English teachers or linguists who are specialists in the English language and language teaching. After the authors write their drafts, they have to be revised by proofreaders to be sure that there are no typos or other mistakes, and that everything is cited correctly. Then the draft goes on to a layout designer. This is usually a graphic designer who puts all the text on the page and adds images to supplement what is written. Sometimes the layout designers have to ask the authors for revisions in order for the text to fit adequately on the page. Then, once the revisions have been made and the text has been put on the pages of the book, the book goes through an external revision with outside reviewers that send comments to the authors and layout designers to make the book even better. After they make their changes, the book is reviewed one last time by a chief editor to be sure there are no errors.
