Editor, Manager and Content Consultant

$25/hr Starting at $25

Although I have been writing all my life, I have been working as an editor for over a decade. A background in newspaper, magazine and web content experience has given me a strong grasp of AP-style writing guidelines and proficient editing. I am a native English writer, but I can also write and edit content using UK and AU English. Another skill I possess is being able to create content ideas in the form of engaging titles, article descriptions and resource URLs for writers to use. I have writing team management experience, too, mostly with teams of 10 or less members. The many types of content I have worked with include blog posts, infographics, newsletters, social media posts and video scripts. I also write and edit extended list posts and how to articles on everything, from health, wellness and fitness, to finance, marketing and investing. I have a graphic/commercial arts background and am a photographer with published images in magazines and newspapers, and on websites, so I have a sharp eye for design. Once my children were all in school, I returned to college and was able to graduate with honors and a 4.0 degree in English and Computer Applications as Class Leader. A three-year stint with Community Newspaper Company after that gave me some strong writing, editing, researching and AP-style skills. I am proficient in WordPress and other publishing platforms. For the past decade, I have been working out of oDesk/Upwork, amassing a 4.0 feedback rating and a 100-percent success rate, here: https://www.upwork.com/freelancers/~0163aa0001169e7c84. I am also a U.S. Vietnam-era veteran who is mature, dependable and reliable. I speed read and can keyboard at 80 to 90 wpm with accuracy. If you want to hire someone who you can train that will make your life easier and your business run far better, please consider hiring me. I could be the last editor you'll ever need to hire. I believe in communicating often with clients and you can reach me most days via Skype at barb_s13. I work from Tuesday through Saturday each week. I am out of office on Mondays for medical and other types of appointments. Thank you for reading and I hope you'll let me help you take your content to the next level. Best regards, Barbara W.
