What is an editorial job?

An editorial job is related to the publication of articles and other written content. Several types of editorial jobs play a role in the publication process, from writing and editing to the ultimate publication of finished content. As an editorial assistant, your job duties include overseeing writers to ensure their commissioned articles meet deadlines, reviewing submissions and selecting articles or content to recommend to your supervising editor, proofreading content prior to publication, and occasionally writing content. As an editor for a publication, you have more responsibilities, including managing editorial assistants and writing staff.
