Can you recommend a newsletter creation tool for managing drafts and recurring sends with a small editorial team?

Yes — for a small editorial team, I’d recommend Beehiiv or Ghost depending on how much you want built-in newsletter publishing vs. a more flexible content platform.

Best fit for most small editorial teams: Beehiiv

Why it works well:

• Clean draft workflow for writing/editing newsletters
• Good support for recurring sends and scheduling
• Easy collaboration for a small team
• Built-in newsletter growth and analytics
• Simple to manage multiple issues without a lot of setup

Best if you want:

• A straightforward newsletter-first tool
• Team members to collaborate without complexity
• Audience growth features included

Strong alternative: Ghost

Why it works well:

• Excellent editorial workflow
• Great for drafts, revisions, and scheduling
• Good roles/permissions for a small team
• Supports newsletters, subscriptions, and a website in one place
• More flexible if you also want a publication site

Best if you want:

• More control over publishing and site content
• A content-management system that doubles as a newsletter platform
• A polished editorial experience

If you mainly want collaborative email drafting: Mailchimp

Pros:

• Familiar email marketing interface
• Drafts, scheduling, and templates
• Team collaboration features

Cons:

• Less publication/editorial-friendly than Beehiiv or Ghost
• Can feel clunky for a small newsroom-style workflow

My quick recommendation

• Choose Beehiiv if your priority is easy newsletter production and recurring sends.
• Choose Ghost if you want a proper editorial publishing system with newsletter capability.
