A Commissioning Editor decides which books, articles, or content projects a publishing company should create and publish. They work with authors, agents, and other editors to develop ideas, negotiate contracts, and oversee projects from initial concept through to publication. They need to understand what readers want and what will sell well in the market.
Matched lessons for this role are being reviewed and will appear here soon.
