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:
“There was only one catch and that was Catch-22, which specified that a concern for one’s own safety in the face of dangers that were real and immediate was the process of a rational mind.... Orr would be crazy to fly more missions and sane if he didn’t, but if he was sane he had to fly them. If he flew them he was crazy and didn’t have to; but if he didn’t want to he was sane and had to.”
—Joseph Heller (b. 1923)
