Writing
I've written professionally on topics as diverse as science, humor, aerospace and aviation, law, human interest and breaking news. Because I've also spent significant time as an editor, my prose is tight, disciplined, well-organized and accurate. My grammar and spelling skills are excellent. You won't need to spend time "reworking" my work. I also take research seriously, which adds a richness and context to my output. A lengthy journalism background has also honed my ability to "write to order" in terms of style and length. You get what you ask for.
