Augustæum Editor
From Augustan Society Staff Wiki
The members' newsletter of The Augustan Society, Inc., is called Augustæum, and it requires an editor.
The Augustæum Editor is named by and serves at the pleasure of the Editor-in-Chief. He may name such assistants as he deems fit.
The duties of the Augustæum Editor include:
- Producing the publication on a regular schedule — Said schedule is presently bi-monthly (Jan/Feb, Mar/Apr, etc.). There is no requirement for publication on any specific date within each pair of months, save that it should not be mailed between US Thanksgiving and New Years.
- Setting the deadline for copy as he sees fit and necessary — It is presently the last day of even-numbered months. Note that this generally precludes mailings during the first week of each period. As a result, it may occasionally be necessary to advance the deadline, and it is his responsibility to notify all officers, chairmen, deans, and coordinators when this happens.
- Editing the copy according to the Style Guide — This is primarily the current edition of The Chicago Manual of Style plus those details adopted by the Editor-in-Chief.
- Arranging for proofreading — when time permits and volunteers are available.
- Working with the Production Editor to have the magazine printed in a timely fashion — He must adhere to such standards as the Production Editor may find neccessary.
- Working with Headquarters staff to have mailing labels printed and the magazine mailed — Preferably it will be mailed with such other magazines, notices, ballots, and other items as may need to be sent at about the same time.
- Providing excess copies and an electronic copy to HQ — Back Issue Sales are few, but copies are required for Society records and to send to new members.
