Editing
My professional career has been divided almost evenly between creating articles and photography and editing and overseeing that work by others. It gives me a rare perspective that balances respect for the creative process with an understanding of the needs of the client. Writers and photographers need to be creative. Editors need to be demanding, precise and ruthless. I'm able to combine the two. I've been a news desk editor, a Science Editor, a Deputy Feature Editor (number two person in a feature department), and a Photo Editor, running a 12-person department and supervising photo usage for an entire newspaper.
I can provide text editing services on a corporate blog, press releases, biographies or creative writing work of any kind. My spelling, grammar and style skills are excellent and I can refer to whatever style guide you specify, although I'm most familiar with the Associated Press Stylebook used by media outlets around the world.
Regarding photography, there is nothing more daunting than looking at 1000 photos shot for an assignment and knowing that there's a story in there somewhere. I can help you pare the work down, organize it, crop it and finish it. My decade as a photo editor helps me do the work efficiently and quickly, hitting your deadline with room to spare.
