What does a line editor do?

A Line Editor reviews written content to improve clarity, flow, and style while ensuring grammatical accuracy. They focus on sentence structure, word choice, and readability rather than broad content or structural changes. Line Editors work closely with writers to refine tone and consistency. Their goal is to enhance the text without altering the author's voice. This role is common in publishing, journalism, and content creation.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a line editor?

To thrive as a Line Editor, you need exceptional grammar, punctuation, and syntax expertise, often supported by a degree in English, journalism, or a related field. Familiarity with style guides (such as AP, Chicago, or MLA) and editing tools like Microsoft Word's Track Changes or Adobe Acrobat is highly beneficial. Attention to detail, strong communication, and the ability to provide constructive feedback are key soft skills for this position. These skills help ensure high-quality, polished content that meets both editorial standards and client expectations.

What are some typical challenges a line editor might face in their daily work?

Line Editors often juggle multiple deadlines and projects, requiring strong time management and the ability to quickly adapt to varying writing styles or tones. Maintaining consistency while respecting each author's unique voice can be challenging, especially when editing work from multiple contributors. Additionally, navigating feedback from authors or managing conflicting editorial guidelines may require diplomacy and problem-solving skills. As part of a collaborative editorial team, you'll often work closely with copy editors, writers, and sometimes project managers to ensure that content meets the highest quality standards.

The Biscayne Times is seeking a newsroom-minded Assignment & Production Editor (Contractor) to help run the monthly editorial pipeline and guide each issue across the finish line.

Editing + quality control

  • Review and line-edit all content prior to copy editing (clarity, structure, voice, accuracy, and flow)
  • Ensure stories meet editorial standards for fairness, sourcing, and local relevance
  • From time to time, contribute high-value stories, features, or opinion pieces as needed

Team coordination + production close

  • Oversee our staff writer and coordinate a small team of contributors and freelance writers
  • Recruit and onboard new freelance writers periodically to meet evolving editorial needs
  • Work closely with the graphic design team to support final page production and a clean handoff to print
  • Keep the issue on track and help ensure we consistently meet monthly print deadlines

Community relationships

  • Build and maintain working relationships with elected officials, business leaders, and community stakeholders to support reporting and advance the publication's editorial mission

Required Skills

  • 3+ years experience editing in a newsroom or news publishing environment (community/local strongly preferred)
  • Strong news judgment and comfort shaping angles, tightening structure, and elevating clarity fast
  • Excellent line-editing skills and attention to detail
  • Solid command of AP Style (and ability to enforce consistent house style)
  • Proven ability to manage writers and freelancers with clear feedback and steady follow-through
  • Comfortable working with print workflows and collaborating with designers toward page close
  • Organized, deadline-driven, and calm under pressure-especially during the final week of production


Nice to Have

  • Familiarity with Miami neighborhoods, civic issues, and local government
  • Spanish proficiency
  • Experience with CMS tools and basic editorial workflow systems

Contract Details

  • Contractor role (1099)
  • Rate: $35-$40/hour based on experience and qualifications
