Editor – Cruising Association Publications

Location: Flexible (remote)
Contract: Freelance / Part-time (approx. 50% FTE)
Fee: Circa £45,000 per year

About the Role

The Cruising Association (CA) is seeking an experienced and self-motivated Editor to lead the production of its member publications across print and digital channels. This is a varied and hands-on role, combining editorial leadership, content commissioning, and end-to-end publication management. You will be responsible for delivering high-quality publications that inform, engage, and inspire our boating community.

Key Responsibilities

You will take ownership of producing:

Cruising Magazine (quarterly) – a 100-page, full-colour print publication with advertising
Digital editions of Cruising (quarterly)
Member Newsletter (monthly) – HTML email linking to website content
Bite-sized Cruising (quarterly) – shortened PDF edition for prospective members
Prospects Update (monthly) – simplified newsletter for non-members

You may also contribute to:

Annual Yearbook – a comprehensive 116-page publication distributed annually

Additional responsibilities include:

Writing and editing editorial content (features, intros, captions, news items)
Copy editing for clarity, accuracy, and consistency of tone
Designing and laying out publications using InDesign and digital tools
Managing production processes for both print and online outputs
Commissioning and coordinating content from contributors
Sourcing and managing images, including from libraries and open licences
Ensuring all publications meet deadlines and quality standards

Skills & Experience

We’re looking for someone who brings:

Strong editorial and writing skills
Excellent copy editing and proofreading ability
Experience in publication design and layout (e.g. InDesign)
Basic image editing and PDF production skills
Proven experience delivering print and digital publications at a senior level
Confidence working independently and managing multiple deadlines
Strong communication skills, particularly when working with volunteers
Competence with tools such as Word, Adobe Creative Suite (or equivalents), and digital publishing platforms

Knowledge & Background

Good understanding of design principles and clear communication
Familiarity with digital publishing and email newsletter tools
Broad knowledge of leisure boating and cruising (sail or motor)
Enthusiasm for the subject matter and community
Membership of the Cruising Association (or willingness to join) is highly desirable

Working Relationships

You will collaborate with a wide range of stakeholders, including:

CA leadership, editorial board, and council
Volunteers and member contributors
Internal staff (marketing, web, PR, IT, and operations)
External partners such as printers, advertisers, and marine suppliers

Time Commitment

Cruising Magazine: 25–30 days per issue (quarterly)
Newsletters & updates: 2–3 days per issue (monthly)
Yearbook (if applicable): 7–10 days annually

This equates to approximately half a full-time workload across the year.

Working Arrangements

Fully remote, with flexible working patterns
Access to suitable equipment (dual monitors recommended for print production)
Attendance at virtual meetings as required
Occasional in-person attendance at CA events is encouraged

Fee & Expenses

Annual fee: approximately £45,000
Equivalent to roughly £300 per working day
Editor is currently responsible for software and operating costs (e.g. Adobe Creative Cloud, Office 365), though this may be reviewed

Additional Considerations

The role offers scope to shape the future of CA publications, including:

Potential redesign of the magazine
Reviewing publication frequency and formats
Greater integration with digital platforms
Supporting wider communications and volunteer engagement

How to Apply

If you are an experienced editor with a passion for boating and a track record in publication management, we’d love to hear from you. Email your CV and covering letter to Lucy Gray [email protected]
