Hastings on Hudson, NY

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

Larchmont, NY

Book AuthorEditorWriter

A health and medical news fanatic, I bring vast experience to the art of understanding and filtering this information for thoughtful readers. I write for physician audiences wherever they are—mobile, Web, and even--gasp!--print. My repertoire includes professional promotional tactics, medical news, speaker series, Web sites, mobile products, banners, and CME activity. A particular strength: my ability to speak to professional and lay audiences with clarity, ease, and succinctness. I have contributed health-related features to the Johns Hopkins White Papers, Barron’s, Ode, and Real Simple. I’ve been a blogger since 2003, primarily in health-related areas, but also covering environmental and conservation issues for a social media site of recreational anglers and hunter with nearly 200,000 Facebook fans. I am constantly searching for writing or editorial projects to which I can bring my fascination and deep experience in these fields to a large professional or consumer audience.

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.

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.
