JT&A HAS BUILT A REPUTATION FOR PUBLICATIONS EXCELLENCE through favorable referrals. We are known in many areas -- the environmental, health care, educational and agricultural communities, among others. From our beginnings as a part-time editing/writing establishment, JT&A has developed into a full-service typesetting and design production business. We offer a wide range of graphic capabilities, including designing and typesetting publications, producing charts and creating illustrations and logos.

Conference Materials	Annual Reports
Proceedings	Reports to Congress
Manuals & Monographs	Newsletters
Brochures & Posters	Specialty Books

The feature that distinguishes JT&A from other firms purporting to offer the same publication services is our recognized ability to write for both the policy-making and citizen audience. We carefully select our writers and editors, choosing professionals skilled in the art of translating technical information into readable prose.

JT&A was founded by a journalist/professor and has built a reputation for producing clear, cogent and correct writing and editing. Nowhere is this excellence in public communication more evident than in the many annual reports to Congress JT&A has produced for such clients as the National Council on Vocational Education, the National Committee for Quality Health Care, the Council on Environmental Quality, the National Acid Precipitation Assessment Program and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

We research, write, rewrite and edit documents to be understood by the lay person and decisionmaker. Making a document attractive to the reader also has always been one of our highest priorities. We are well known for our design and artwork: our posters are found throughout the nation, Mexico and Canada; our brochures for American Wetlands Month and EPA's Nonpoint Source Program have been distributed by the hundreds of thousands.

Conference Materials

JT&A produces a wide variety of conference materials for its clients, ranging from the basic name badges, tent cards, announcements, programs and attendee lists to complex briefing books and industry-specific trade publications. Our designers once built an entire seminar theme from a colorful Malaysian cloth.

Proceedings

JT&A publishes the proceedings from most of the large conferences we coordinate. We have edited and produced conference proceedings from corporate conferences addressing environmental management issues; government-sponsored conferences on topics such as reducing the risk in paint stripping practices, the Toxics Release Inventory database, nonpoint and point source issues, the manufacturing of pulp and paper and watershed issues; and from annual national conferences of two major health care organizations. We established a series of proceedings for a major national environmental organization and coordinated its evolution into a journal.

Manuals

Manuals & Monographs
JT&A frequently edits and produces monographs for a number of client organizations, including a series for a health care client. A major manual that we created for the poultry industry has become almost a bible for waste management in that arena.

Brochures & Posters

Our brochures and posters feature original art, which we create to meet our clients' specifications. One of our first brochures focused on the nonpoint source pollution issue - EPA distributed more than a million copies - and we subsequently adapted the design to an EPA Report to Congress. For the Terrene Institute and EPA, JT&A produced another highly successful brochure for American Wetlands Month. We also created the Audubon's America brochure. JT&A artists created a series of posters for Terrene and EPA Region 5 that focuses on the nonpoint source management issue. Another successful series - for a corporate client-announces annual conferences. JT&A regularly designs and produces brochures for the conferences and meetings it manages.

Reports to Congress

Clean Lakes Program
Since the 1987 initiation of an annual series, JT&A has continued to research, write and produce an annual report for U.S. EPA and the Terrene Institute. In addition, JT&A has produced two major reports on the Clean Lakes Program for EPA, designed for a citizen/policy-making audience. Both have been extremely well received.

Nonpoint Source Program
JT&A edited, designed and produced this EPA report to Congress, working through many drafts on an extremely tight time frame.

Council for Environmental Quality
JT&A edited, designed and produced four annual reports, receiving commendations for our work.

National Acid Precipitation Assessment Program
JT&A designed and created NAPAP's first annual report and logo, and produced the annual report for several years thereafter. We also edited and produced the interim report on a tight schedule - working the hours necessary to complete the project on time.

Two major health care organizations
After several years of designing, editing and producing annual and specialty reports for one organization, our work prompted a sister organization to contract with us for its annual and special reports.

A corporate environmental group
After designing the first annual report, JT&A continues to produce subsequent reports.

Your ABC Guide to the Environment, JT&A, inc.
To demystify the increasingly complex and enigmatic riddle of today's environmental language, JT&A compiled and published this handy reference guide.

Each listing is cross-referenced with its descriptive term. As an added bonus, the Guide lists chemical elements and units of measure.

The first how-to book on House and Senate procedures, The Book on Congress explains the organization and rules of both Houses and how they affect the course of legislation.

Updated for each new congressional session, The Book on Congress is distributed by the Almanac of American Politics.

This workbook solves your career problem no matter where you are in life - college student, career changer, retiree, even the teen looking for a fix on the world of work. This book is about how to find and get a job you'll really want to live with. Popular with college and high school counselors and placement offices, and individuals, too, The Job Hunter's Workbook was written by JT&A staff and published by Peterson's Guides; JT&A now distributes it.
