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:
“By Modernism I mean the positive rejection of the past and the blind belief in the process of change, in novelty for its own sake, in the idea that progress through time equates with cultural progress; in the cult of individuality, originality and self-expression.”
—Dan Cruickshank (b. 1949)
