Professional Development Month: Navigating the Editor/Writer Relationship

Writers and editors alike benefit from a relationship built on trust and clear communication. What can each do to build rapport and get what they need, from clean copy to securing work? We’ll hear from experts on best practices to navigate the editing process, setting expectations and managing disagreements. Editor panelists will share tips on cultivating relationships with their writers – staff, freelance or remote. Writers will give advice on making connections that lead to editors seeking them out to write stories and pointing them to career-boosting opportunities, like awards and fellowships.

Featured speakers include Lauren Wolf, executive editor at Chemical & Engineering News;  Lauren Morello, deputy health care editor at Politico; Gabriel Popkin, freelance journalist; Sarah Zhang, staff writer at The Atlantic.
