Editorial project management is ideal for longform, multi-author, or multi-stage content projects that require consistent oversight and coordination across contributors, departments, or workflows. We partner with organizations that need support turning complex editorial visions into clear, on-time deliverables.

Typical projects include:

• Museum catalogues and exhibition publications

• White paper and report series for think tanks and nonprofits

• Multi-author academic books and scholarly readers

• Institutional or annual reports for higher ed and philanthropic organizations

• Corporate content suites, such as onboarding materials, internal guides, or investor communications

• Web content and multi-channel content packages produced by cross-functional teams

These projects often involve multiple stakeholders, deadlines, and content formats—and benefit from a partner who can manage editorial timelines, approvals, consistency, and final production.

Whether you’re starting from a rough outline or already deep in drafts, Flatpage steps in to keep your content moving smoothly from development to delivery.

Pricing for editorial project management depends on the scope, duration, and complexity of your project. We offer flexible options based on the level of involvement you need—whether you’re looking for short-term oversight on a single deliverable or full-cycle management of a multi-month publication process.

Some clients engage us on a flat-fee basis for defined projects like museum catalogues or annual reports. Others prefer monthly retainers for ongoing support across multiple editorial workflows. We’re also able to work hourly for shorter-term or highly customized engagements.

Because no two projects are alike, we recommend reaching out with a few details—timeline, content type, number of contributors, and where you are in the process—so we can provide a tailored quote.

Flatpage brings both editorial expertise and project coordination skills to your team, helping you stay on schedule and deliver high-quality work with less stress.

Our editorial project management service provides hands-on support for organizations producing complex, longform, or multi-author content. We manage the editorial process from start to finish—or step in wherever you need help most—to keep your project moving smoothly, on-brand, and on deadline.

Every project includes:

• Timeline creation and oversight
  We build realistic schedules and manage key milestones across content stages.

• Contributor and stakeholder coordination
  We serve as your editorial liaison—managing drafts, feedback, and approvals between writers, editors, designers, and internal teams.

• Editorial talent matching
  Your project manager will assign the right Flatpage editor from our expert team, based on subject matter, tone, and format.

• Style sheet development or alignment
  We can work with your existing editorial style guide—or create one for consistency across writers and documents.

• Workflow and version control
  We manage revisions and ensure clean, structured editorial handoffs throughout.

• Platform flexibility
  We manage projects in Basecamp or work in your preferred platform (Google Docs, Notion, Airtable, Trello, etc.).

• Ongoing quality assurance
  Your PM ensures content quality and cohesion at every stage—especially across large teams or high-volume content.

Each engagement is tailored to your needs, whether you require full editorial oversight or targeted coordination support. Flatpage becomes a natural extension of your team—combining professional editorial expertise with project-level leadership to deliver results that are accurate, clear, and ready for publication.

Editorial project management is most valuable when you’re preparing a multi-contributor, longform, or high-stakes editorial project—and want to ensure it stays on track from start to finish.

We recommend bringing in a project manager at the planning or early drafting stage, especially if you’re:

• Coordinating multiple writers or editors

• Managing content across departments or partner organizations

• Working toward fixed deadlines or publication dates

• Preparing a print or digital publication with multiple components

• Balancing internal workloads with limited capacity

Common stages for engagement include:

• Pre-draft: When outlining the structure, timeline, and team roles

• Drafting: When multiple contributors begin submitting sections

• Editing & Review: When you need version control and feedback tracking

• Production: When you’re preparing files for layout, copyediting, or publication

While earlier is better, we can also step in midstream to help bring order to projects that are already underway—or in danger of stalling.

Flatpage’s project managers bring not only structure, but editorial experience, which means we can help you make key decisions about tone, flow, contributor guidelines, and more.

If you’re unsure whether your project is ready for management support, we’re happy to assess your materials and recommend the best starting point.
