Editorial Calendar Worksheet

Think about how your organization might develop story ideas around a certain key event or theme. These may not be all ideas that you will use but this is how you would start to develop the Editorial Calendar for your newsletter/website/blog and how you might look to tie your writing to things that “matter” to your organization.

The assignment:
Assume that your organization will be preparing a newsletter/magazine for the coming year, 2020. Assume for now that it will be a monthly publication that you will have complete control over, including content. Your boss has asked you to draft an Editorial Calendar that can be shared with other staffers and free lance writers who might want to contribute.

The Editorial Calendar can be prepared as a Word table with listings by month. To add to the authenticity, consider the deadlines and add those to the calendar.

The calendar should be for 12 months.
