Commissioning Editor (book Publishing) - The Commissioning Process

The Commissioning Process

Commissioning editors may commission in a number of ways:

  1. pro-actively: by thinking of ideas for books and then finding authors to write them
  2. reactively: by reacting to book proposals or manuscripts
  3. collaboratively: by formulating ideas in dialogue with authors
  4. by republishing previously published books
  5. by co-publishing ("buying in") books being published elsewhere or in other editions by other companies

Famous quotes containing the word process:

    It haunts me, the passage of time. I think time is a merciless thing. I think life is a process of burning oneself out and time is the fire that burns you. But I think the spirit of man is a good adversary.
    Tennessee Williams (1914–1983)
