I’m curious what level of editing and shaping you are looking for?

Jane Pratt's avatar

I know exactly what level I need and will provide all the answers when I actually get some applicants. I understand it is hard to apply without knowing all the details but there is some method to this madness (I think!). Stay tuned and thanks for writing!

I'll just add this to give you a preview since you were the very first person to comment! Some story editing experience could be helpful, but not if it means being tied to some of the standard ways we all were taught to edit at other publications. This would be a very different kind of light editing. And someone who can work in the CMS with me because I'm really big on the right photos and captions and I care about every tiny little word on every tiny little button, so someone who is willing to dig into that level of detail in the CMS would be helpful. It's just me doing it all right now so we would be sharing some of the editing duties basically and I can work with someone's strengths and preferences. I hope that's somewhat helpful Xo.

I would LOVE to help with writing and editing. It will bring me back to my undergrad days in the early 2000s as a columnist and copyeditor for my college's newspaper!

That sounds perfect. That was probably that when I saw his degree actually meant something too!

Jane!! My inner teenager is squeeeeeing (who am I kidding - I’m still 13 in my mind.) This could be my chance to live the dream I set aside for so many other ridiculous reasons - too many to count. Can you see me waving my arm wildly? Pick me, pick me!

About the editing opportunity...why this is ABSOLUTELY ME! You don't know (yet) how perfect for the role I am!

Jane Pratt's avatar

I do have a great feeling though! Plus, if I have it right, you DMed me earlier today and I messaged you back so I already feel like I know you. Xo

When you mentioned spotting the former customer at the Lincoln Park Zoo, for a split second I thought you wrote that you'd seen him step out of a pedocab.

I would've flipped out too.
