Story editor is a job title in motion picture and television production, also sometimes called supervising producer.
The responsibilities of the story editor vary depending on the production; this article describes the duties the role most commonly has.
The story editor will work closely with the writer on each draft of their story and script, giving the writer feedback on the quality of their work, suggesting improvements that can be made while also ensuring that practical issues, like continuity and correct running time, are adhered to.
Certain show runners encourage the lower-level writers to pitch ideas, others don't.
They collaborate with the executive producers and department heads to achieve a shared vision for the series.
