Profile
Summary
As a writer and editor with over a decade of in-house magazine experience I have developed a host of editorial skills. I have worked both in-house and as a freelancer for several publications including travel, business, student, trade and general-interest magazines. My goal is to craft interesting, engaging and thought-provoking stories that help readers see the world around them more clearly — if I can do all that without sounding pretentious, that would be perfect.
