Editors

Position Description

Editors edit a given story. Editing includes fixing mistakes in grammar, spelling, choice of vocabulary, punctuation, sentence structure, etc. The rewritten copy of an edited work makes it easier to read. Editors must be helpful and constructive when they edit and not simply state the errors they have noticed. After having eliminated the errors in the story, they must make sure that the writing flows and is not abrupt after having made changes to it.
