Cannot say enough positive things about the Apex production staff. We got the manuscript in well before the deadline and they were ready to roll with it. A delightful experience.

“It’s been a pleasure working with Apex. I’ve enjoyed solving problems alongside someone who has an equal, if not better, grasp of the content standards and workflows. I’ve collaborated with a number of onsite project managers (PMs) in my work, and I’d rank Apex’s project management among the best of them.”
Helen Atkins, Editorial Director Public Library of Science
The Apex PM was extremely encouraging, supportive, and easy to work with. Their knowledge of the publication process and responsiveness were absolutely outstanding!

I’m still marveling at what a pleasure you are to work with. I’ve always felt like when I send something it disappears into the Universe. So it’s nice to feel a solid connection.
