Explanation:

Zwei auf den ersten Blick nicht zusammengehörende Begriffe. Sie können aber ähnliche Tätigkeiten, im ersten Fall mehr bei Zeitschriftenverlagen, im zweiten Fall mehr bei Buchverlagen, beschreiben.

In book publishing, a commissioning editor is essentially a buyer. It is the job of the commissioning editor to advise the publishing house on which books to publish. Usually the actual decision of whether or not to contract a book is taken by a senior manager rather than the editor.

Ein konkretes Angebot für den angegebenen Text könnte sein - die frühere Leiterin des Ressorts für freie Mitarbeiter des Magazins "Sunday Times Style"

Explanation:
Die Person vergibt offenbar Aufträge für Beiträge zu einer Publikation.
Der Artikel unten bezieht sich auf Verlage, bei Periodika passt die Übersetzung vielleicht noch besser. Was ist der Kontext hier?
