About the Company
Golson Media is a quality-focused book and multimedia
content packager located in Croton-on-Hudson, New York. We specialize
in producing content for leading publishers in library, school, and
trade reference markets. Formerly known as Golson Books, Ltd., the company
is increasingly providing digital media, including audio and video,
for electronic and web-based product delivery.
Headed by J. Geoffrey Golson, a 30-year publishing veteran and former
publisher at Macmillan USA, Golson Media works with more than 500 academic
and freelance authors on projects for publishers like HarperCollins,
SAGE Publications, Facts On File, M.E. Sharpe, and others. Golson Media
was founded in 2002 and has partnered with General Editors from distinguished
universities and Pulitzer Prize-winning authors to work with our select
group of creative editors, designers, managers, and full-service staff.
Services We Provide
Our team provides intellectual content from concept
through final production phases ready for print, electronic, digital,
or web-based publication. Our staff and roster of freelancers include:
development editors, marketers, copyeditors, photo and multimedia researchers,
photographers, typesetters, proofreaders, indexers, and other support
staff to ensure on-time and on-budget delivery of new products. Our
services range from providing proposals for new products to executing
a publisher's own program. Moreover, Golson Media provides pre- and post-publication
marketing support for titles by offering title website creation and maintenance. Major
works are promoted with dedicated websites for editorial updates, author and/or editor
blogs, and community-building around the title.
