I am a professional editor and writer with more than 20 years of experience. I offer top-quality editing, writing and proofreading services on a timely basis. I use AP style for a clean, consistent result. As a former magazine editor I am well-versed in all aspects of project management, including quality writing and clean, consistent editing. Currently I edit blog posts and sales copy for several marketing companies, and before that I worked for a government news website, writing and posting news summaries by deadline. Prior to that, I was editor of Central Penn Parent, Central Penn Senior, and Silver & Gold magazines, published by Journal Multimedia in Harrisburg. I was in charge of all aspects of seeing the issues through completion, including comprehensive editing. I also served as proofreader, research director and design editor of a weekly business newspaper. During my years in the publishing industry I have garnered awards from the Society of Professional Journalists, Parenting Publications of America, National Mature Media Awards, and Women in Communications. I am looking forward to working with you!
