THANKS to everyone who answered my initial question about editor
responsibilities. I now have another challenge: It is now my duty to take
our four content writers, and improve their efficiency by 20 percent. I have
been tasked (love that word) with proving that by editing and training, I
can help our writers produce content 20 percent faster, because things like
consistency issues, time to edit, etc., will be reduced. I have a pseudo
style guide that isn't quite finished, and I want to do some quick OJT with
these guys, to ensure they understand some of our style issues. What other
things can I do in a very short time (read about a couple of weeks), to help
my writers improve their output, both in speed and quality? I appreciate any
input and suggestions.

Thanks so much for your help!
