Katie Poe Quote
"I am currently an Associate Production Editor at the American Journal of Public Health (AJPH), which is located in Washington, DC. The journal publishes academic articles written by professionals and academics in the public health field. I began working at AJPH in 2021 as Journal Production Coordinator, and after some months got promoted to editor. Now I primarily work on what we call “special” issues, which are fully Open Access issues (aka free to read) that cover specific topics, such as structural racism, COVID-19 testing in underserved populations, and lead exposure, to name a few. My role specifically oversees the production process, which begins after articles are accepted for publication. I edit articles for grammar, style, and consistency, and I manage a team of freelance copyeditors and proofreaders who do the same."
