Writers need more
than good stories to get published. Manuscripts must be carefully
edited, and they must be in the correct format. I can help you achieve
both those objectives.
I have twenty years of experience in newspaper and magazine
writing, editing, coaching writers, photography, and page design.
My work has appeared in The Charlotte Observer, The Philadelphia
Inquirer and USA Today. In 1999, I won the highest prize
the South Carolina Press Association awards for newspaper editorial
writing, the E.A. Ramsaur Award.
Computer experience includes: QuarkXPress, NewsEdit IQ, Microsoft
Word, Adobe Photoshop, Front Page, Dreamweaver, SPSS, Fireworks, and
Flash.
Awards include:
* S.C. Press Association Award, 1989, reporting in depth, third place
* S.C. Press Association Award, 1991, reporting in depth, second place
* S.C. Press Association Award, 1994, columns, second place
* S.C. Press Association Award, 1997, all weekly division, Harris
Award for Editorial Writing, first place
* S.C. Press Association Award, 1999, all daily division, E.A. Ramsaur
Award for Editorial Writing, first place
I am a full-time free-lancer and can devote as much time and energy
as each project requires.
