SUMMARY:Talking Editorial (BookMachine Unplugged Online 2022)
DESCRIPTION:Thanks to our Editorial Stream sponsors: CatStone Books\, the CIEP\, Oriel Square and Westchester Publishing Services \n\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n		\n\n  \nThe evolutionary role of the Editor\nThe modern editor’s role is now fluid and expansive\, requiring a multitude of skills. Boundaries between the traditionally separate roles of editor\, publicist and marketer are blended and go beyond the traditional editorial\, PR and marketing relationship. \n  \nSo where does commissioning start and marketing and PR end?  \n  \nJoin Magdalene Abraha\, Mireille Harper and Ore Agbaje-Williams on Wednesday 23rd March from 6-7pm GMT for a conversation about what it means to be an editor today. They will reflect on how editors are now under pressure to track what the audience thinks\, wants and knows\, and will consider how their role goes beyond working effectively with other departments to combine elements of all these different skillsets. They will consider how editors have to listen to their audience and liaise more heavily than ever\, and at the same time are held accountable and challenged by the readership.  \n  \nThe role of the editor has been demystified and shaken. It’s no longer about the editor and their innate taste making or curation skills. Register now for a frank and refreshing discussion on what this means. \n  \nTalking Editorial will sit within the Editorial Stream\, which runs throughout 2022. In the Editorial Stream\, you can find upcoming events\, interviews\, details of our Stream sponsors\, blog posts and resources to help you learn new skills and develop in your career. \n  \n  \nAbout BookMachine Unplugged 2022\nThe Unplugged Online event series is designed to help inspire you\, build on your knowledge and reveal exciting new ideas for you to harness when you’re back at your desk. \n  \nThe theme for this year’s series is the “Year of Change”.
