Highlights
|
I have 15 years' experience as a professional copy editor and proofreader.
I have worked primarily in the areas of advertising and publishing, having been the supervisor of the editorial departments at two nationally known advertising/direct mail agencies. I have supervised more than a dozen other copy editors and have produced work for more than 60 agency clients, including airlines, department stores, utility companies, automobile manufacturers, hotels, restaurants, banks and many more. I have edited copy across a wide range of print, online and broadcast media, including direct mail letters, articles, case studies, business presentations, newsletters, flyers, brochures, billboards, radio and television scripts, websites, user guides for TV/satellite programming and much more.
I have been rated at the highest level by supervisors and have received recognition from clients and associates.
As a freelancer, I have edited 20 works of fiction and nonfiction, including more than a dozen for two book publishers. I have also written articles for a website.
I taught English in high school, was an instructor in English at two business colleges, and taught English and Speed Reading at a large military base.
In college, I graduated in the top 4% of my class, was on the Dean's List and Honor Roll, and was a member of Alpha Chi Honor Society.
I am an expert with AP and The Chicago Manual of Style and have developed in-house style guides for many clients.
