My career spans more than 25 years in journalism, including multimedia packaging, researching, deadline writing and editing, long-form writing and editing, headline writing, coaching, and writing and editing for a prominent reference manual. I can employ that long and varied experience to make your text projects sing. I am most interested in editing books and marketing copy but will entertain any project that fits my considerable skill set. Always learning.
