A few words about editing
You deserve content that delivers a sparkling, targeted mix of
information, ideas, vision and attitude to each of its readers in a
unique and personal fashion.
My joy as an editor is to make it work. I love to excite your reader and
depress your competition. The first step is to know who your reader is
and what your reader wants and needs. Then we focus. Every single
particle that goes into the content must serve that reader. We find just
the right contributors and blend their individual images and stories
into one single, coherent, powerful statement -- your magazine

Traveler's
USA Notebook is a Web-based travel magazine.
Our readers expect the good life —a combination of that pampered
feeling and food for the mind and the senses. We like to help our
readers discover what makes a community special.
We have news of cool hotels, hot restaurants, stirring events,
come-hither packages, etc.; and we bring a fresh approach to
destination pieces. My editorial duties include planning,
copyediting, writing, production, and coordination with contributors
Magazine Retailer I was the editor of this quarterly trade
publication from its birth in 1996 through its last issue (Winter
2001-2002). It told chain store execs how to make money with
magazines. We launched the magazine in May 1996. We gave the
magazine the look and feel of a consumer publication because of its
positioning --- it was the newsstand bible. Its sharp blend of
information, ideas and graphics engaged our readers and advertisers.
Duties included planning, supervision of contributors, copyediting,
cover development, attending conferences, and moderating
panels.
