Career questions tagged editor
I have lots of questions about a career in editing
Throughout my high school career, I've worked as editor of our school's annual literary arts magazine, and I absolutely love it, and it has influenced my desire to pursue editing as a career. I'm looking into editing more broadly in a book editing sense, or in a magazine sense, but I would only really be interested in art type magazines, most likely. I'm just worried that I will pursue this career and then get out of school not knowing where to go or what to do with my degree, and I feel like with an English degree, I wouldn't have much to fall back on. I'm going to a small state school in Pennsylvania, and know that jobs would not necessarily be available after school there. What locations are best suited for this type of occupation? I also don't necessarily want to sacrifice a life and a family for my career. Is this the type of career I would have to do that with? #journalism #english #editing #editor

How can a beginner improve their editorial skills?
Would you please tell me who is, if there is such an individual, the world's most renown editor in the world. One that deals with literature, and most preferable blogs and articles in the topics of finance and education. If there's no such thing, would you be kind enough to point me to some resources that would fast track my growth in performing editorial functions excellently, from a beginner's level. Thank you (Tehee). #July2020 #editor #editorial-writing #ceo #worldclass

Would it be better for me to major in Journalism or Mass Communications?
I am asking this question because ever since I was a little girl I always wanted to be a magazine editor; however, lately i have been thinking about pursuing a career in broadcast journalism. Also many people who do end up majoring in Journalism have difficulties finding a job, so would majoring in Mass Communications be a better option since it covers media from many different outlets? #journalism #editing #editor #journalist #magazine #reporter

What does it take to make writing into a career?
I am a junior at Boston Collegiate and a part of me has always known I have to be a writer as I get older. I feel like I have a story to tell and without saying it, I will fail myself and everyone. I want to reach people’s hearts using my writing, like so many authors have done for me. Do I need a degree to become a writer? What’s the best piece of advice for an aspiring writer? If I were not to become a writer I still want to be involved in the writing process. I love editing and revising my peers' writing. What kind of job could that translate into?

Should my major still be business-esque or something like writing/editing?
I don't know much about the specifics of majors and minors in college. But for a while I thought it was something about business. Now I'm thinking. I like to read so much and write. When I do read (some amazing books btw), my mind goes over and over, unconsciously editing and analyzing, it's annoying. But then my sister brought up going into that, like a publishing house. Of course after college and everything. #business #entrepreneur #writing #editor #help #senior
