Subject: [NTG-context] creating a printed book

I have created 22 MSword files mainly text with embedded PNG diagrams. I
am seeking to have these converted to Context and to redo the (simple)
diagrams. I was thinking of using MetaPost. I am seeking to pay a
typesetter to assist me in this task. I would be willing to pay for your
time or for the time of a colleague you could direct me to. I am seeking
to have typeset a book. The MSWord files have already been professionally
proof-read, and the subject matter is political economy from the 18th
century and how this translates to and may contradict conventional wisdom
within the field of modern economics.
Other typesetters I have contacted have suggested running pandoc to create
a LaTeX file and use Tikz for the diagrams. But I have spent 3 days
reading on advancements in the ConText side of the industry which I suspect
is far more advanced. I would prefer to use better tools as a longer term
solution. Can you advise me?
David Roderick.
