The production process begins with the acquisition of a manuscript by a publisher or commissioning editor. The manuscript is then developed through a structural edit – this can be done by the publisher, the in-house editor who will look after the title and author throughout the production process, or a freelance editor chosen for their skills in that particular genre.
