I managed a team of approx. 60 freelance editors to produce Lonely Planet's guidebook publishing list. My responsibilities spanned recruitment, training, performance management, quality control and process development. I had strong project management accountabilities through scheduling all external editorial resources across the guidebook publishing team and ensuring outcomes were delivered to agreed budgets. An essential component of this role was ensuring the editorial standards were delivered across the guidebook publishing list, which I accomplished through regular training, writing clear documentation, providing ongoing feedback, and analysing projects for and implementing proactive solutions to address potential areas for improvment.

I assessed suitability of content for audience and adherence to brief; completed all phases of editing from structural editing, to line-by-line copyediting, to proofreading laid-out pages; commissioned and approved designs, artwork and illustrations; and developed and edited marketing collateral.
