"I started this community because there was no space like this, and to my knowledge, there still is no other space like this on the internet for women YouTube editors to talk about their experience. EditHers is part job board, part guild, part therapy group, and part skill incubator."
"Rachel Kisela, a freelance video editor from Seattle and MrBeast alum, noticed she was an anomaly as a woman in the field. That perception was confirmed by data she saw from the career site Zippia, which showed that 76% of video editors are men."
Rachel Kisela, a former MrBeast editor, founded EditHers in 2024 to address gender imbalance in video editing. Data from Zippia revealed that 76% of video editors are men, prompting Kisela to create a Discord community matching female editors with hirers. The platform has grown to nearly 200 editors and around 100 creators, including major YouTube channels like Airrack and Smosh. EditHers functions as a job board, guild, therapy group, and skill incubator, enabling women to share job opportunities, discuss pay, exchange technical tips, and openly discuss sexism in the industry. The creator economy remains male-dominated, with top YouTube creators overwhelmingly men, and technical fields like editing traditionally attracting more men than women.
