Editorial Management

The Head & Neck Cancer Guide is a comprehensive resource to help patients and their loved ones understand and prepare for every step of the cancer journey.

I was the content director on this entire site. I contributed to content strategy, guided information architecture, was lead copywriter, managed the editorial workflow, hired/trained/managed freelancers, revised and edited every page, fact-checked, communicated with the client, and trained the client team to take over the CMS on hand-off.

The site — really three sites, including content meant for adult patients and caregivers, teens, and young children — contains over 557,000 words of copy.

Editorial Workflow Management

I managed the editorial workflow using Trello, which works almost like a software developers' ticketing system; I assigned tasks to writers, editors, and reviewers and then moved the content cards to the right.
