@suzannemason
Dynamic editor and writer specializing in travel content, editorial leadership, and audience growth.
What I'm looking for
I am a dynamic editor and writer with extensive experience in travel content creation and editorial leadership. I prioritize AP Style, accuracy, and SEO to produce compelling narratives that drive readership and client satisfaction.
At U.S. News & World Report, I edited large volumes of travel content—hotel profiles, cruise and ship profiles, rankings, guides—and managed uploads to proprietary CMS and Brightspot while developing the USN Travel Style Guide.
I mentor interns, pitch new travel ideas monthly, and have achieved notable audience results, including a 70.6% clickthrough rate on a top feature and tens of thousands of views on flagship pieces. I also write and revise diversity, equity, and inclusion travel content.
My background includes newsletter and HTML-enhanced features at Multiview, media outreach experience, bookstore customer engagement, and ongoing professional development in SEO and AI for work. I bring strong project management, research, and communication skills to editorial teams.
