# Editorial calendar

Multi-writer pipeline with style consistency.

## Pieces

Use the **Pieces** surface. Columns: title, writer, editor, status, publish date.

Stages: Pitched → Approved → Drafting → Review → Final → Published.

## Drafts

One section per piece. The draft lives here; collaborators edit inline.

## Style guide

Voice + tone. House conventions. Forbidden phrases. Every writer references this; every editor enforces it.

### Voice

Who we sound like. Examples of on-brand sentences.

### Tone

What modulates: formality, humor, hedging.

### Conventions

- Em dashes? (No, we use commas + periods.)
- Sentence case in headings? (Yes.)
- Oxford comma? (Yes.)

### Banned phrases

Things our voice doesn't say.
