Editorial Director
Dear Mr. Grant,
I am writing to express my interest in the Editorial Director role at Commonplace Review. Your publication makes room for patient reporting and distinctive voices, and I would be excited to help shape its next chapter.
At Field Notes Quarterly, I lead an editorial team working across long-form features, newsletters, and audio. I care about building a thoughtful commissioning process that gives writers clarity while preserving the curiosity that makes a story worth pursuing.
I would welcome a conversation about the role and the editorial priorities ahead. Thank you for considering my application.
In brief
- Twelve years in editorial and publishing leadership
- Built a commissioning calendar across print, web, and audio
- Experienced editor and mentor for emerging writers
Yours sincerely,
Sofia Bennett
Editorial Director
