Apologies for cross posting Commissioning Content: Working effectively with authors and editors Thursday 04 October 2018 "An excellent overview of the commissioning process with really useful tips and common sense suggestions." Hannah Patrick, Cambridge University Press "It was useful to hear about strategies and generating leads; this doesn't seem to be something that is passed on within the industry generally." Jennifer Barratt, Thomas Telford Perfect for editors involved in a new launch programme or book list commissioning role, this practical course takes you step by step through the commissioning process. With lots of useful 'know how' from our industry tutors and an opportunity to network with peers, it's well worth a day out of the office.
