Executive Editor Jobs

An Executive Editor holds a high-ranking position in the publishing industry, often overseeing other editors and coordinating overall publishing operations. Their responsibilities typically include making critical decisions about which books or pieces to publish, working closely with authors, guiding the editorial staff, and maintaining the voice and quality of the published content. They play a crucial role in shaping the direction of the publication or publishing house, ensuring its commercial success and reputation. They may also be involved in the marketing and promotional aspects of the business.

Executive Editors should possess strong communication and leadership skills along with a keen eye for detail. They must have a solid understanding of the publishing process and the market they are operating in. A degree in journalism, communications, English, or a related field is often required. Some may also have a master's degree in publishing or business. Prior to becoming an Executive Editor, an individual might have roles such as a Staff Writer, Copy Editor, or Managing Editor. These roles offer valuable experience in writing, editing, and managing editorial teams, providing the foundation needed to step into an executive role.
