Horrors / Mercury A Peek into the Mercury Editorial Process
Posted by Wm.™ Steven Humphrey on Thu, Sep 27, 2012 at 11:14 AM
Along with weekly editorial meetings, I also have semi-regular one-on-one meetings with each of the writers on my staff. There I offer advice, constructive criticism, and suggest goals for the coming year. Sometimes they are very productive—sometimes not so much. Here is a videotaped meeting (the Mercury HR department forces me to do this now) that I recently had with copy chief and writer Courtney Ferguson.
Yeah, that could've gone better.
