My journalism experience includes not only editing and writing but also marketing newspapers to the community. I have won numerous awards for newspaper copy editing, including two in recent years from the N.C. Press Association. My newsroom experience has included coaching beginning writers as well as improving the work of seasoned professionals. I am accustomed to deadline pressure, and I can work rapidly without sacrificing thoroughness or accuracy. My editing skills range from intensive rewriting to basic proofreading.
