Editing is like having a conversation.
Editing
Editing runs the gamut from proof-reading to a deep critique of the structure and purpose of a piece of writing. I’ve had the privilege of having some great editors; they’ve given me not only the benefit of their professional skills but also an example of how to be an editor myself.
Writing
“Every sentence you write runs the risk of being read.” It’s an aphorism I’ve taken to heart throughout my career. Moreover, every sentence you write should deserve to be read—because it is part of a compelling story from beginning to end.
About
I have experience in writing for professional, academic, and consumer audiences across broadcast, print, and online platforms. My career began in daily newspapers; today it focuses on writing and editing targeted information for both U.S. and international audiences. I’m widely published in professional journals, consumer publications, and corporate literature.
I specialize in editorial services in health and health care. I have served as a subject matter expert in health care evaluation and been named an expert witness in health care planning in Florida administrative proceedings.
Every month, I attend lectures and talks in my community. This blog summarizes a few of the many fascinating discussions I’ve attended in and around Washington, D.C. Now—when the basic concepts of science and history are being questioned—I think it's important to share insights I gathered there. I hope you’ll find these talks as inspiring as I do.
