Associate Editor, AAA

>> My name is Katie Brown. I'm an associate editor at AAA. I work for the Travel Publishing Department in Content Product Development. So I do all the travel writing, editing, researching, for our travel-related publications. We have print, online, and digital apps that we write for. Yeah, I create content for the tour books, if you've ever ordered a printed tour book for a trip, I write and update them and also when you log in to aaa.com, we write for the, you know, the attractions and the art galleries, and that sort of thing that pops up. And we also produce content for maps and also for, you know, travel guide apps that we're producing. A lot of writing. It's nice because I can kind of pick when I want to work from day to day. So some days I might spend it proofing, like, PDFs or a printed book. Other days, I'm researching, contacting museums, contacting attractions to see if they've changed their hours. I do a lot of emailing with freelance writers. I edit their content that they submit to us. Some days I brainstorm, you know, [inaudible] ideas or content for our Twitter account and Pinterest and that sort of thing. So I do all social media as well. We do a lot of, you know, online research. We visit places. I've gotten to travel to some places around town, state parks, you know, eat at different restaurants, do the activities, see if we want to recommend it for members, AAA members. Yeah, a lot of reading a lot of news articles when, you know, a new ride comes to Disney. We want to be, like, on top of it. Or if they raise their admission prices, we want to know right away.
