Who are these acquisitions editors? They’re the people at a publishing company who help create headline news. Thanks to acquisitions editors, Anderson Cooper sold his memoir to HarperCollins for $1 million, and Oprah raised eyebrows with her cool $12 million book deal. Because publishing a book is an expensive endeavor, the acquisitions editor holds a book proposal closely to the light, assessing the entire package of information to determine whether the subject matter is appropriate for the publishing house or imprint. If the proposal passes muster, the acquisitions editor works with the author to fine-tune and better complete it for easier acceptance by the publishing house. Sometimes a developmental editor is called in to help the author at this stage.
