Step 3: Obtain Approval of Your Book Proposal
Once you submit your book proposal, it undergoes review. First, a subject-appropriate CRC Press acquiring editor will give your book proposal careful consideration. If your book proposal meets CRC Press' criteria for quality, relevance, and marketability, the acquiring editor submits the proposal for peer review by experts in your field who will offer their opinions on the potential strengths and weaknesses of your proposal, including its importance to the field.
If it is determined that your book has the potential to be mutually profitable and is seen as advancing your field or promoting education within its field, approval is granted and a contract is tendered.
Step 4: Sign the Contract for Your Book
Read over the contract carefully. Your CRC Press acquiring editor will discuss the terms with you and is able to answer any questions you might have.
The contract outlines responsibilities and obligations, both yours and ours. One essential obligation is that you keep your date commitments. Any requested changes in the schedule should be taken up with your CRC Press acquiring editor as soon as possible.
