I have diverse and extensive copy editing and proofing experience, including:
- Copyediting: Assistant Features Editor for the Times-News (Twin Falls, Idaho); 2007-2008.
This role included working with reporters and correspondents on a daily basis to edit their stories and prepare them for print, including ensuring accuracy, requesting critical but missing information, and meeting deadlines.
A project that went through numerous drafts over the course of six months, this involved copyediting a combination of biography and highly technical medical text.
- Proofing: "Iona: A Guide to the Sacred Isle for Clergy & Other Pilgrims," by Vivienne Hull; Clinton, WA: Storyhouse Press, 2012.
This manuscript went through several proofs, each of which involved ensuring accuracy of obscure quoted material. I was substitute project manager for part of the process.
- Proofing: "Iona Report: Story of an Enduring Vision," by Fritz Hull; Clinton, WA: Storyhouse Press, 2012.
As a combination of autobiography, history, and philosophy, this project's mix of disciplines proved a proofing challenge.
- Copyediting and proofing: Comfort with and understanding of AP, Chicago Manual of Style, and APA.
Able to fulfill query needs for a variety of projects, proof with or without original comparison manuscript, make standard or project-specific proofmarks, and identify layout errors.
