Cipher

Editor

Pay: $150/block

Editors are the core of Cipher. As an editor, you’ll generally work with 1-2 writers per issue through the process of brainstorming, researching, drafting, and polishing a Cipher article. Sometimes your writer will have a full draft, sometimes they’ll have a fraction of an idea. Your essential goal as an editor is to improve another person’s writing, no matter what stage it is at. We view editing as a collaborative process in which the editor helps the writer develop their vision, direction, voice, style, etc.
