Pamela Brill

Northport

A digital and print content provider for national and regional consumer and trade publications, I have spent the last 30 years doing what I love best: creating a compelling story. Be it specialty retail, gift and toy trends, children's books, women's health or parenting issues, the range of topics I have covered knows no bounds. I pride myself on crafting compelling copy, from conception to completion (and yes, I adore alliteration!). An editor and journalist for today's readers, I am equally skilled in generating SEO-rich content.

EditorWriter

I am interested in transitioning to a creative role as a full-time content editor or copywriter. I am willing to freelance to gain additional experience before taking on a new full-time position. My staff and freelance experiences have been numerous and varied over the years: I served as a Book Editor for well known Boston and New York publishing houses; a magazine writer for the Discovery Channel School science series for kids in NY; a freelance proofreader in NY and around the US remotely; an online Writer and Editor for a women's startup website based in CA. Later, when my kids were young, I freelanced several years as an Editorial Consultant, handling copyediting and proofreading for a diverse client list, including book publishers, authors, colleges, ad agencies, and nonprofits. In my most recent role as Copy Editor at ASPIRE Design and Home magazine, I oversaw all copyediting from earliest article drafts to final proofreading stages. I am thoroughly versed in the Chicago Manual of Style and AP and br

NYC proofreader and copy editor. I work with ad agencies, marketing departments, and education companies to produce professionally polished and error-free text, always delivered on time, to help these businesses succeed while saving them headaches, time, and money. I will zero in (like a heat-seeking missile) on every misplaced comma, spelling blunder, and grammatical no-no in your text. And that’s just the beginning...

Wayne, PA

EditorFact-CheckerWriter

My work for national magazines and established websites has focused mainly on the body: how to take care of it (health, fitness, nutrition) and how to have fun with it (style, sex, liquor, cigars). I've also written about personal finance, parenting, and weddings. I've been involved in every phase of the editorial process--from idea generation to the final proofread. I'm resourceful, reliable, and ready to match my skills to your editorial style.

Gastonia, NC

Content Editor (online)EditorWriter

As a professional writer/editor/content maven with more years of professional experience than you can shake a stick at—unless you really enjoy shaking sticks—along with interviewing everyone from homeless artists, street soccer activists, business entrepreneurs, designers, chefs, magicians, musicians, assorted celebrities—and even the occasional ecdysiast and dominatrix—I’ve brainstormed/assigned/authored/polished and published both long- and short-form content across a broad swath of subject matter and a wide range of deliverables encompassing pretty much any and everything that’s ever sprung to mind or fallen in my lap that demanded coverage. In addition to a keen ear for language, a finely tuned eye for trends, and the ability to turn out crisp, focused copy quickly and cleanly, I can keep a fair number of plates spinning at the same time, make a silk purse out of a sow's ear, and I play well with others.
