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:
“Science is a dynamic undertaking directed to lowering the degree of the empiricism involved in solving problems; or, if you prefer, science is a process of fabricating a web of interconnected concepts and conceptual schemes arising from experiments and observations and fruitful of further experiments and observations.”
—James Conant (1893–1978)
