Next, an internal editorial committee or board usually receives the proposal. The acquisitions editor meets with the committee and makes the case for acceptance of the manuscript by the publishing house. If the committee agrees and decides to take on the manuscript, the acquisitions editor pushes the proposal along to another internal — and sometimes external — group of people who further scrutinize the subject matter and outline for any holes in the research that need to be fixed before a book deal can be penned. For academic works, it’s not uncommon for additional peer-review panels of experts in the field of the book’s topic to be brought together for suggestions and comments. All these hands, and we’ve just scratched the surface! The acquisitions editor then takes the manhandled proposal back to the author, who addresses and incorporates the suggestions and changes and submits a final book proposal.
