What is editorial production?

Editorial production is the oversight of the production of a publication. Each publishing company has its own editorial production process. However, editorial production usually starts with choosing relevant content, which can entail a long submission review process. If you work with a large staff, you as the production editor are responsible for giving out assignments. You must keep the staff on track to meet the publishing deadline, and edit along the way. Proofreading is a central part of the editorial production, as the content cannot contain errors, but your primary concern is producing the final product.
