1. Think Big

At Builder, we have monthly meetings to brainstorm editorial six months out.

Editors and writers go on an annual editorial retreat.

We continually ask ourselves, “What’s the biggest, most important issue that we could be covering right now?”

I ask my writers, “What story would you really like to write next?”

We do a lot of group stories, with one senior editor in charge.

Travel makes a huge difference.
