With 10 solid years of writing and editing experience with newspapers and magazines, I am a creative and pedantic editor of both language and style. I am an award-winning journalist with the skills and experience to turn a manuscript from blah to wow and also the patience and resourcefulness to ensure accuracy and timely delivery of any project.
With my academic and career background, I am adept at working under tight deadline pressure and at a fast pace without compromising accuracy and flow. Having worked as a journalist with a daily newspaper for three years covering the community beat, I have extensive experience with health, juvenile delinquency, domestic violence and other social issues. My experience as editor of an organisation's website for a year has also sharpened my skills in writing and editing internet content for a web audience. My most recent stint as a managing editor with a lifestyle magazine has honed my creative writing skills, especially with long features, as well as my project management abilities.
I am not only well-trained in thorough fact-checking, proofreading, conducting in-depth research under deadline pressure but also writing to varied audiences. Besides churning out compelling copy, I am proficient in English and Mandarin and can translate non-technical Chinese documents into English.
