To end our series of posts covering the MaWSIG-LitSIG joint Pre-Conference Event in Liverpool on 1 April 2019, and following on from yesterday’s blog about how to write graded readers, Andrew Dilger and the OUP ELT design team designed a poster showing how Oxford University Press goes about commissioning its graded readers.

Andrew Dilger is a Managing Editor at Oxford University Press. With over 16 years’ experience in ELT publishing, he has commissioned, edited, or project managed a variety of titles in the following areas: Adult (general English), Business English, ESP, Exams, Professional Development, Secondary (general English), and Graded Readers. In a freelance capacity, he has also worked with Pearson, CUP and Richmond. Prior to working in publishing, Andrew was an EFL teacher and trainer and worked in more than 10 different countries.
ALways interesting to see how much more work goes in to producing graded readers (and any books!) than “just” the writing! I wonder how involved authors are / have to be / get to be in what happens after they submit a manuscript…?
