In my role as an Associate Editor at XYZ Publishing, I noticed that the manual editing process was time-consuming and prone to errors. I proposed the implementation of AI-based proofreading tools to complement human editing.
After receiving approval, I led a small team in integrating Grammarly and Hemingway Editor into our editing process, which helped identify errors, improve readability, and enhance writing style. Not only did this make the process more efficient, but it also decreased the burden on the team, allowing us more time to focus on more intricate aspects of editing such as content structure and coherence.
These tools reduced errors in final prints by around 35%, increased productivity by 25%, and freed up time for the creative team to focus on crafting compelling narratives. This experience underscored my belief in the power of technology and innovation in traditional roles such as editing.
