Previously, I worked as the editor of a weekly newspaper. In that position, my main responsibilities were to proofread and/or edit all material for publication in the paper. I frequently re-wrote articles that were submitted by others for publication to show clarity and continuity of ideas. I am a perfectionist about spelling, grammar, word use, and et cetera.
I am skilled in writing headlines and sub-headlines for articles, as well as the cutlines used to identify pictures, giving the proper credit to the author or photographer.
Conducting interviews with people to gather facts for articles and compiling that information into a concise article for publication was a very important part of my job. In addition, I performed research and verification of facts with hard copy sources and online sources. Using skills from my previous positions, I have learned the proper manner in which to conduct research on the Internet, verifying credibility of the sites used and finding additional verification for facts found online.
I have edited a book (release date May 2009), as well as numerous magazine articles for a published author. Currently I research, write, and proofread articles for a hotel website.
My interests include home improvement projects, such as gardening, landscaping, and interior decorating; horticulture and plants; and Christian literature (fiction, non-fiction, devotional). I read extensively and have many other interests; therefore I am willing to work on almost any type of project.
