FEM editors work on articles for one section (Campus Life, Dialogue, Entertainment, Politics, Arts and Creative) for the FEM website and our quarterly print issue alongside staff writers and other editors. You may apply to either be a copy editor or content editor.

CONTENT EDITING: Content editors edit articles for clarity of message, argumentative strength, logical consistency, theoretical accuracy, cohesiveness of ideas, style and tone, accessibility, quality of sourcing, and adherence to FEM’s mission statement and handbook.

COPY EDITING: Copy editors edit articles for AP style grammar and mechanics, word choice, appropriate paragraph and sentence length, formatting, logical transitions, clarity of language and structure, and general article flow. Copy editors are also responsible for making sure the article aligns with the FEM mission statement and handbook.
