TITLE MANAGEMENT FOR ACQUISITIONS
BRIEF DESCRIPTION
From proposal, through peer review, due diligence and finally decision making, Title Management for Acquisitions will help uncover the answers. Acquiring Editors can track the status of all submissions or proposals under review. Detailed Publication Plans can be established — what formats, what prices, what season. Descriptive copy can be entered to help make the case why you are interested in a title. Multiple iterations of the manuscript can be tracked and peer reviewers can be assigned.
Coming in Title Management 7.0, Title P&L will allow you to build your business case at each critical stage of a title — Acquisition, Transmittal, Price/Quantity, Actual. P&Ls can be created based on templates for release strategy, and allow calculation by format and year for sales, royalties, prepress costs, paper/print/bind costs, marketing, overhead and more.
And here is the good part: when a project is approved, ISBNs and titles for each format are created at the click of a button.
BENEFITS OF TITLE MANAGEMENT FOR ACQUISITIONS

- Communicate more efficiently and professionally with authors, peer reviewers and editorial boards

- Take advantage of the sophisticated global contact database built into Title Management to find authors, contributors and peer reviewers by discipline or area of expertise

"In the old days, Acquisitions lived on its own- maintaining spreadsheets for everything imaginable. Now, using Acquisitions in Title Management, we are integrated with the rest of the press and, when we are ready, can approve projects and automatically create title records for the rest of the press to see. Our Acquisitions process is more streamlined and the acquisition status reports give us the view of our projects when and how we need it. We can't live without it!
