The editorial department acts as the backbone of any publishing house. All the book proposals are sent to the editorial department, which makes the pivotal decision of accepting or rejecting it. To do this, the editorial department should not only have excellent command over the language but also good awareness of the market. The editorial department has a role to play throughout, until the book is finally printed. It helps the author in shaping the final content of the book. The department also provides valuable suggestions and ideas for marketing and publicity of the book.
