Good afternoon, CWPA friends,
The Center for Engaged Learning (CEL) at Elon University is searching for our next Managing Editor, and given that many of you teach in or direct writing majors and graduate programs, I’m hoping you’ll share our job ad with your alumni or colleagues who might be interested in working full-time for a small academic press focused on engaged and experiential learning.
The Managing Editor oversees the Center’s ongoing publishing operations—including two book series, open access web resources, and an active blog—to produce peer-reviewed publications on engaged learning that feature work from the Center’s research seminars and think tanks, along with other international research on high-impact educational practices. Collaborating with the Director and the Executive Director, the Managing Editor coordinates production schedules and correspondence; oversees copyediting and page design for print and online publications; ensures final drafts are consistent with the Center’s editorial and style guide, including accessibility guidelines; oversees page design of online publications; contributes to the development and editing of open access resources; maintains digital files for the Center’s previously published books; and assists with the promotion of the Center’s publications.
We’re looking for someone with….
Bachelor’s degree in professional writing, editing, journalism, English, communications, or related field. Minimum of 3 years work experience. At least three years of editing, production, and workflow management experience in print and digital content platforms.
