This new edition of a successful and highly-praised book provides
an comprehensive introduction to the job of a commissioning editor.
Gill Davies offers close guidance and support on how editors should
approach this job. She demonstrates the main principles and
practices involved in commissioning and acquisition, and covers
difficult issues connected with judgement and decision making which
are at the heart of the editor's job. Individual chapters address:
* how to choose what to publish * proposing projects for
publication * from contract to delivery * managing the publication
process * strategic and financial aspects of list building *
developing and maintaining a list * teamwork and professional
ethics. The new edition also includes guidance on issues that have
become more pressing since publication of the first edition, such
as controlling e-mail, the effect of digitisation, and inheriting
other editors' lists as a consequence of take-overs and mergers.
Extensive coverage is given to the perennial problems that editors
face, particularly the most demanding: slippage and handling
difficult authors. commercial and practical problems that editors
must address in today's complex and challenging marketplace.
