The copy editor, in collaboration with the author, spends months helping guide the content flow of the book and the language of the text, whipping the manuscript into readable and publishable shape. At the same time, the editor is also working with his or her colleagues (as well as the author) to come up with a brilliant title and subtitle that will entice readers to the book. The book editorial process itself has several stages and the different members of the editorial team perform different functions.

After the manuscript leaves editorial, it goes into the hands of production. The steps of production from edited manuscript to finished book involve a host of hands copy editing the text, designing, and laying out the pages of the book, determining its size and page count, working to get the cover of the book designed, and seeing the book through printing and binding or e-book creation.
