Editorial Workflow

By James Anditis (Journalism)

Manage story assignments, editorial calendars, and publishing workflows for newsrooms.

Generic Language Killer

By Kim Barrett (Advertising)

Replace vague, corporate fluff with clear, specific, human language that actually says something.

Editorial Workflow

• Tracks stories through pitch, draft, edit, copy, and publish stages with clear status flows
• Creates editorial calendars showing what's publishing when and what's in the pipeline
• Provides assignment templates that spell out scope, deadlines, sources, and handoff protocols
• Manages deadlines with backward-planning timelines from publish date to reporting start
• Generates pre-publish checklists covering content, legal, metadata, and final sign-off

Generic Language Killer

• Identifies generic phrases, buzzwords, and corporate fluff in your copy
• Replaces vague language with specific, direct statements
• Rewrites text to sound more human and less polished-to-death
• Transforms AI-sounding or overly formal copy into clear, real language

Reach for Generic Language Killer when…
