Editing and Proofreading

Website Content

I reviewed website content, edited, proofread, and suggested links for a new website for the San Francisco Office of the Mayor's HOPE SF program (January-March 2010).

Copyediting

I copyedited the manuscript for Enamored with Place, a memoir by Wendy Bertrand (2011) and for Strands, a novel by Elise Peeples (2009).

 

I recorded (in writing) the steps taken by a client to prepare to start her own business and copyedited and laid out (using InDesign) the company's business plan (2011).

Project Management

 

I organized, edited, and supervised production for the following:

The San Francisco City Guides schedule brochure for Summer-Fall 2010. Compiled walking tour descriptions, edited and proofread tour schedules, and proofread brochure layout. For more information, see www.sfcityguides.org.
