Assistant Editors

Hire an freelance or permanent assistant editor from Creativepool's global creative community. Every profile here is ranked by a weekly composite of portfolio depth, client recommendations, recent activity and editorial standing - so the strongest current assistant editors surface first, not whoever joined earliest.

How to choose

Shortlist on portfolio, not job title.

Start from the brief, not the job title. Shortlist three to five assistant editors whose portfolio shows work in your sector and at your level of polish, check they have been active recently, then message them directly or send one structured brief to all of them at once.

Frequently asked questions

01What does an assistant editor do?

The scope of an assistant editor varies by individual, so the portfolio is the best guide to fit - look for projects close to your brief in sector, format and ambition rather than relying on the job title alone.

02Should I hire an freelance or permanent assistant editor?

Freelancers suit defined projects, overflow and specialist one-offs; permanent hires suit ongoing work and team continuity. Many assistant editors on Creativepool are open to both - each profile states availability and the type of work they take.

03How do I choose the right assistant editor?

Shortlist on portfolio relevance first, then check recent activity, client recommendations and ratings. Brief two or three candidates with the same outline so you can compare approach, timeline and rate fairly.

04How are assistant editors ranked on this page?

By a weekly-refreshed composite of editorial standing, portfolio depth, engagement, client recommendations and recent activity - so active, well-regarded assistant editors appear first.

05How do I get listed as an assistant editor?

Create a Creativepool profile, set your role and availability, and upload your strongest work. Listings are free; an active, complete profile with client recommendations ranks higher.
