Book Commissioning and Acquisition
Second edition - Gill Davies
Since its first publication, this essential guide to book commissioning has established itself as the one and only 'must-read' for any successful editor, and the core training text used both within publishing houses and on publishing courses worldwide. In this new edition, Davies concentrates on:
- how to choose what to publish
- managing the publication process
- strategic and financial aspects of list building
- developing and maintaining a list.
New case-studies has been added which illustrate the commercial and practical problems that editors must address in today's complex and demanding marketplace. This book remains the one text that editors must have by their side throughout their careers.
