Managing Editor

CHALLENGE

Shepherd a project through the editorial process with both an editorial eye and a project manager's organizational skills

CLIENT PROFILE

Clients are typically organizations with a large project to work on, such as a magazine or newsletter, who want to outsource to a senior leader who can provide direction and manage a small team. We collaborate so that clients can be as hands-on or off as they wish, while maintaining confidence that the project will be completed to a high standard.

SAMPLE PROJECTS

Laurentian University – story development, writing, substantive editing, copy editing

PROCESS

Save communications teams time with as much collaboration as they need, beginning with a kickoff meeting to determine project audiences and goals, then workback schedules and clear milestones to set a project in motion. Scope can include devising editorial themes and assigning to managing editorial schedules with designers and other collaborators. Substantive editing, copy editing and editorial workflow are included.

Suzanne has worked on the last three issues of the Laurentian Alumni Magazine. She’s an excellent writer who never fails to tell an engaging story.

Sue stepped into work with our team during a critical period at the end of a large project. She was on-the-ball, reliable and seemed unflappable - a real pro.
