TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
I did check the archives and couldn't find anything on this.
I found lots of writer:engineer discussion, but nothing on writer:editor.
This is cross-posted to the copyediting listserv.
What is your current ratio of writers to editors? What do
you think is an ideal ratio of writers to editors? I know -- it depends. But
in your situation, what works or what do you think would work better? Also,
do you know of any authoritative source that has guideline numbers for
this ratio?
In our department, we currently have 9 writers, 1 editor, and 1 manager.
With the number of docs we're always churning out, we could use
another editor. We need about 4 more writers, too, but that's another story.
