Subject:At what point can you justify a F/T editor? From:Richard Lippincott <rjl -at- BOSTECH -dot- COM> Date:Wed, 22 Jan 1997 13:55:32 -0500
Faith Weber asked:
>Any ideas re: at what point it makes sense to have a full-time editor?
My rule of thumb: You should have one full time editor for every ten
writers. Most places are a little below this, but I've found that this
ratio works well.
