The narrative audio industry has a deep need for more Black and brown story editors, and editors from a broader range of perspectives and life experiences. But there’s often no obvious way for people who want to be editors to get there.
Announcing Edit Mode: Story Editor Training for Narrative Audio is here to bridge that gap. Edit Mode is a paid training and mentorship program that will build your skills, introduce you to future colleagues, and give you the real-world editing experience you need to feel confident hitting “apply” for that next job. During this information session you'll have the opportunity to ask questions about the program, learn about the application process, and meet members of the Editors Collective behind this exciting new editor training.
