The Commissioning Panel

Headed by the Commissioning Editor, the task of the Commissioning Panel is to appraise manuscripts sent to Melrose Books for possible publication. The Panel considers the merits of each manuscript based on its subject matter, the quality of its content and its marketing potential. The Panel is comprised of publishers and editors with experience of both sides of the author-publisher relationship who are sympathetic to the requirements of authors. Those manuscripts with sufficient merit are recommended to the Commissioning Editor who will make an offer of publication to the author. Members of the Commissioning Panel read every manuscript they receive and uphold the quality of our publications.

If the Author decides to publish, he or she will have direct personal access to the Commissioning Editor. The role of the Commissioning Editor is to liaise with the Author to ensure that they are completely satisfied with the resulting publication.
