I have more than a decade of experience as a newspaper reporter and editor, and I am comfortable working with a wide range of topics. I love hard news as well as features. I am currently looking for an opportunity to freelance or write from home.My experience includes stints as a cops, courts and crime beat reporter as well as freelance writing, editing, and creating political campaign materials. I thrive in a high-pressure environment,and I have a boxful of journalism awards to prove it. As a former managing editor of a start-up weekly newspaper, I have managed freelance writers and photographers in addition to contributing copy and photos of my own for each week's edition. I have also worked as an editorial assistant to a fabulous special sections editor at a large business publication from whom I learned a great deal about how to organize and manage massive amounts of information. If you are looking for a writer and editor with experience, I have it!
