About the Editorial Calendar

Plan articles from assignment to publication with owners and deadlines.

A plan you can see is a plan you are more likely to follow. Printable calendars and schedules turn a busy head into a clear page.

Getting started with the Editorial Calendar

Using the editorial calendar takes a minute or two. Your entries are saved in this browser, so you can come back later and carry on.

Tips for better results

Set draft deadlines well before the publication date to leave time for edits, and record who approves final copy.

Keep one planner for everything so appointments never clash.

Print a copy for the fridge or desk so the plan stays visible.

Privacy and where your data goes

Everything you type into the editorial calendar stays on your own device. Zapxa does not receive your numbers or documents. If you clear your browser data, your saved entries will be removed, so download a PDF of anything you want to keep.
