My 30-year career as a newspaper woman has given me a broad range of experience, honed my writing skills and disciplined my work habits. I have covered environment, the arts, social issues, religion, health, courts, nonprofits.
I'm a skilled editor who has worked with writers of all levels. I am co-author of two books: "Pearl: The Man and the Place," published in Canada, and "Jacksonville: Where the Future Leads," published by Cherbo. I can help develop book-length projects, rewrite, do final edits and proof read.
I also am a personal historian, genealogist and ethical will facilitator. |
