We've Created a New Role: Senior Copy Editor
We are excited to announce the introduction of a new editorial role designed to help guide new writers entering the Studio. This week, senior copy editors will begin reviewing and rating the work of every new writer entering the system. These editors will take additional time to intensively edit new writers' articles, providing feedback above and beyond our traditional edit while introducing contributors to our rigorous expectations and standards. Additionally, senior copy editors will focus on mentoring and teaching, providing a warm and welcoming reception into the Studio while gently acclimating writers to our guidelines.

This role represents a huge accomplishment in our constant quest to improve quality. The senior copy editor program will enable us to build a core group of dedicated, long-term, well-trained contributors, while identifying writers who don't meet our standards. For the rest of our CE team, we are confident this will translate into more efficient and productive work with writers who've already been coached with a helping hand. And our current writers can rest assured that they will still benefit from the expert editorial guidance of our senior CEs who will continue to edit their articles as well. In addition, we are continually hiring and training new copy editors (100 within two days last week!), so we expect production to remain strong.

Our congratulations and gratitude to the 50 elite senior editors chosen to participate in this innovative program.

Eve and Richard, Content Curators

This is a wonderful idea! I know I would have benefitted as a new writer with more intensive editing. Congratulations to the senior editors and thank you to all the editors who help me with my articles.

I'm a fairly new writer. How do I know if I have a senior CE working with me? I think it's a great idea to help improve my writing skills!

Thank you so much for doing this. As a CE, it is really hard to come across new writers who need the help and help them, while staying on track with quotas and the work done in a timely manner.
