Please prepare a short presentation around the 3 questions below. We are not testing your ppt skills rather your ability to approach the problems we outline! 1. Below is a timeline that shows a breakdown of the current 5-month average total time taken for book production. Our management team has asked us how we could deliver a book in 4 months rather than 5 to help us achieve our company efficiency goal. What steps might you take to achieve this? What initial suggestions would you make? 2. Below is an outline of one of our books. Project editors collaborate with writers to develop an outline and a writing sample for the customer to review and approve prior to the writer writing up the entire first draft. The writing sample is intended to showcase the proposed voice and style of the story. The outline is intended to showcase the proposed structure of the story. Using your editorial perspective, please share the ways in which this outline works or doesn't work. Would you say it’s a strong outline? Why or why not? Can you suggest any improvements?
