VOL Collective author

Liz C. Thompson

Managing Editor

Liz C. Thompson is VOL’s Managing Editor, bringing structure, pace, and a sharp sense of proportion to the daily work of the newsroom. She can see the shape of a story before it is fully written, and she knows when a piece needs one more question, one less adjective, or a little more air. Her edits help the magazine stay lively without losing its standards.
