Extensive editing and writing experience for newspapers and magazines, in fields ranging from business to government to health care to sports. Started out after college as an advertising copywriter and public relations writer, then shifted into journalism for the balance of my 30-year career, which has included stints on a small daily, large statewide business magazine and major metropolitan newspaper. Served as managing editor of the business magazine, coordinating a six-member staff and 10 stringers. Developed story ideas, edited all copy and supervised layout for a publication that covered the gamut of business issues and trends. In recent years have been a freelance writer for various business publications while working nights on the sports copy desk of a large-city newspaper. Strengths include great attention to detail and quick turnaround.
