The Commissioning Process
Commissioning editors may commission in a number of ways:
- pro-actively: by thinking of ideas for books and then finding authors to write them
- reactively: by reacting to book proposals or manuscripts
- collaboratively: by formulating ideas in dialogue with authors
- by republishing previously published books
- by co-publishing ("buying in") books being published elsewhere or in other editions by other companies

Famous quotes containing the word process:
“That which endures is not one or another association of living forms, but the process of which the cosmos is the product, and of which these are among the transitory expressions.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
