Behind the Scenes: How We Craft the Magic of TheSmokies.com

Hey there, fellow adventurers! Have you ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes here at TheSmokies.com? Well, buckle up, because we’re about to pull back the curtain and give you a sneak peek into our editorial process. From brainstorming sessions to final edits, let’s dive into how we bring the magic of the Smoky Mountains to life on your screen.

Brainstorming Sessions:

It all starts with a good old-fashioned brainstorming session. We toss around topics like the best hiking trails, hidden gems worth exploring, and mouthwatering recipes inspired by local cuisine. It’s like a creative brainstorming bonfire, where every idea is welcome.

Research and Planning:

Once we’ve got our brainstorming hats on, it’s time to roll up our sleeves and dive into the nitty-gritty of research and planning. We scour the internet for the latest trends, consult with local experts, and dust off our trusty guidebooks to ensure that every piece of content we produce is as informative and accurate as possible. From historical tidbits to insider tips, we leave no stone unturned in our quest to deliver the goods.

Writing and Editing:

With our research in hand, it’s time to put pen to paper – or fingers to keyboard, in this case. Our talented team of writers craft engaging and informative articles that capture the spirit of the Smokies and leave you itching to pack your bags and hit the trails. But we’re not done yet – every article goes through a rigorous editing process to ensure that it’s polished to perfection. From grammar tweaks to fact-checking, we dot every i and cross every t to make sure that our content shines.

Photography and Multimedia:

They say a picture is worth a thousand words, and we couldn’t agree more. That’s why we’re constantly on the lookout for stunning visuals that bring our articles to life. We are proud to say that 95% of the photographs you see on this site were taken by one of our staffers. We seldom rely on stock images. And we never write feature articles with AI.

Feedback and Iteration:

But wait, we’re not done just yet. Before we hit that publish button, every piece of content goes through a final round of feedback and iteration. We value your input, dear readers, and we’re constantly striving to improve and refine our content based on your suggestions. So if you ever have a brilliant idea or a helpful critique, don’t hesitate to drop us a line – after all, we’re in this adventure together.

Conclusion:

So there you have it – a glimpse into the inner workings of TheSmokies.com. From brainstorming sessions to final edits, our editorial process is a labor of love fueled by passion, creativity, and a whole lot of coffee.
