Since I&#8217;ve written that post, my duties as an editor have evolved to a degree, so I thought a sequel was in order. Here we go!<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><\/span><br \/>\n<!-- more --><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<span style=\"font-family: georgia, &quot;times new roman&quot;, serif; font-size: large;\">1.) Learning How to Hire People &#8211; <\/span><span style=\"font-family: georgia, &quot;times new roman&quot;, serif;\">In January, my editor-in-chief gave me and my other department editors clearance to start hiring writers on our own. Before that, the editor-in-chief did it, but it was quite an overwhelming job for her (no kidding), so it the responsibility was spread out across departments. Thus, I had to learn how to hire people and I knew like nothing on how to do that. I&#8217;ve been hired by a lot of places, but I&#8217;ve never been the one doing the hiring, so this was a big flip in perspectives.<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><br \/><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"251\" data-original-width=\"500\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/victoriagracehowell.com\/staging\/6258\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/TheOffice-IUnderstandNothing.gif?resize=400%2C200\" width=\"400\" \/><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\">First, I had to advertise that the position was available. Thus, I wrote what I wanted in a writer for my department and handed it off to the marketing department to get a flyer made. Then I spread that flyer across the interwebs and the marketing department did the same. &nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\">Soon, I got emails streaming in from many different applicants of all different ages and walks of life. Nearly every day for the next two weeks-ish I had a new application from somebody. It was a bit overwhelming, especially when several of the applicants didn&#8217;t include all of the information I needed to fully evaluate out them&#8211;like the flyer clearly stated. For the love of Pete, people, follow the guidelines an editor gives you. It&#8217;s not hard.&nbsp;<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><br \/><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"150\" data-original-width=\"245\" height=\"195\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/victoriagracehowell.com\/staging\/6258\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Mushu-MakeANoteOfThis.gif?resize=320%2C195\" width=\"320\" \/><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><br \/><\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\">Then I had to read lots and lots and lots of resumes, cover letters, and writing samples.

Some people I knew immediately that I wanted them on my team and other ones I had to really debate between who I wanted to bring on. Then they had to sign a long bunch of paperwork that I had to send then I could finally bring them into the chat rooms. In the end, I believe I&#8217;ve picked a pretty fabulous team and they&#8217;re doing very well so far.&nbsp;<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><br \/><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"265\" data-original-width=\"320\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/victoriagracehowell.com\/staging\/6258\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/BB8-ThumbsUp.gif\" \/><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<span style=\"font-size: large;\"><br \/><\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">2.) Sending Out Rejections &#8211;<\/span> If you&#8217;ve been reading this blog for any amount of time, you&#8217;ll know I&#8217;ve personally received a lot of rejections. I was a little nervous being on the flip side and having to send rejections to other people. I had a little sample form rejection that made it easier where it kindly let people down. Some of the people I didn&#8217;t necessarily want to reject, but their writing just wasn&#8217;t the quality I wanted. Then there was this one guy that was so arrogant, halfway through the email I was like,<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><br \/><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"180\" data-original-width=\"245\" height=\"235\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/victoriagracehowell.com\/staging\/6258\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/AnswerOrGlare.gif?resize=320%2C235\" width=\"320\" \/><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><br \/><\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><br \/><\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\">By the end my conclusion came to:&nbsp;<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><br \/><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"180\" data-original-width=\"245\" height=\"235\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/victoriagracehowell.com\/staging\/6258\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Sherlock-NotInterestedMoveON.gif?resize=320%2C235\" width=\"320\" \/><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><br \/><\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">3.) Keeping Up Relationships Individually &#8211; <\/span>With these new writers and my team overall, I&#8217;ve made it a point to check up on everyone every week to see how the team is doing. This has been a lot of work, especially for introvert me, but I feel like doing it has strengthened my team as a whole since I have a relationship with each of my writers. I can pray for them when they have problems and they&#8217;re more comfortable about sharing ideas with me.<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><br \/><\/span><\/div>\n<table align=\"center\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" class=\"tr-caption-container\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"150\" data-original-width=\"245\" height=\"243\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/victoriagracehowell.com\/staging\/6258\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/10thDoctor-ExcitedScurry.gif?resize=400%2C243\" width=\"400\" \/><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"tr-caption\" style=\"text-align: center;\">Me peeking into my writer&#8217;s PM every week.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<div style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">4.) Becoming a Mentor &#8211; <\/span>One thing I&#8217;ve come to learn is part of being a good editor is being a mentor for your writers. You don&#8217;t want to constantly correct, correct, correct, you also need to make a point to make your writers feel appreciated and that their strengths are being valued. I came to this conclusion partly from my own experience with editors. I&#8217;ve worked with one website where the editor only corrects and never acknowledges my strengths as a writer and it really makes me feel kinda like crap. Then I&#8217;ve worked with another editor that critiques me, but I feel like she&#8217;s pushing me to grow as a writer in a way that I feel valued. Whenever I&#8217;ve finished with a post I try to point out the good points and points that need to be worked on to each writer.<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><br \/><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"175\" data-original-width=\"245\" height=\"228\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/victoriagracehowell.com\/staging\/6258\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/11thDoctor-WellYou2527reDoingGreat.gif?resize=320%2C228\" width=\"320\" \/><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">5.) More Work Can Be More Satisfying &#8211;<\/span> One of the reasons I had to hire in the first place was my team was too small, but because of that I only had to edit something maybe every other week. Now that my team has grown to seven writers, I edit anywhere from two to five pieces a week and usually they come out on the weekends which is when I work. This can be a little overwhelming, but it&#8217;s overall satisfying because I&#8217;m seeing lots of fresh content on the site every week. I feel like my department is really pulling its weight and I get that proud parent feeling.<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><br \/><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"215\" data-original-width=\"375\" height=\"183\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/victoriagracehowell.com\/staging\/6258\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/10thDoctor-Smile.gif?resize=320%2C183\" width=\"320\" \/><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Conclusion &#8211; <\/span>I&#8217;m still loving being an editor.
