Professional Experience

I have done freelance work on a steady basis for the national weekly consumer magazines (The National Examiner, The Weekly World News, The Globe) for 10 years. I specialize in unscrambling a mountain of information and organizing it into a concise, engaging, informative and lively piece of copy accessible to any educational or age group. I can write any and all collateral copy, newsletters, summaries and cookbooks. I was trained at Oxford University Press where I was an editor for many years. I also do freelance proofreading and have used many style guides, including Chicago and AMA.
