We are excited to announce the release of the Assistant Editor’s Toolkit, our new professional resource to support Editorial Trainees and Assistant Editors’ career development in the cutting room.
On the 11th of July, we held our launch event at The King & Queen Pub in Fitzrovia which was well attended by Assistant Editors, Editorial Trainees and Post Production Runners.
Eleanor Adler (2nd Assistant Editor) presented the Toolkit and explained what the Toolkit is for, why we created it and gave real-life examples of how we can use it in the cutting room. Attendees found the presentation informative and many praised how useful the toolkit would be for them and the industry.
You can find out more about why we created the Toolkit in our article here.

“The Assistant Editor’s Toolkit is the most useful resource I’ve found as someone trying to break into scripted Assistant Editor work, and Eleanor’s talk did a great job of highlighting how comprehensive and versatile it is.”
- Guy Chadwick, Edit Assistant
“Came for the resources, stayed for the company. I had a fabulous evening at the Toolkit launch. It was great to meet so many people at such different stages of their careers. The presentation was very insightful and I've found the Toolkit really helpful in getting a good read of my position and progress, and have already used it to help prepare for an interview. I left the event feeling more familiar and oriented in our corner of the industry and what it's like working in it as an Assistant Editor.”
- Joe Wells, Editorial Trainee
“Eleanor’s presentation on the Toolkit was instructive as well as inspirational. She not only showed how the Toolkit can be used to help veterans train their teams and to refresh previously learned content but also how it can aid new entrants who aspire to enter the industry. It was a marvellous event.”
- Idoia Hernández Colorado, 2nd Assistant Editor
