Editor & Content Specialist
Right now I write and edit retailer-facing content for the Wizards Play Network. The program changes quickly, so a lot of my job is checking that an article still matches the current rules, the retailer dashboard, and the other guidance a store might read next.
Before Wizards, I edited books, engineering and legal reports, training materials, blog posts, and product content. That editing background is probably why I notice the sentence that looks fine by itself and becomes a problem when you put it next to everything else.
My contract at Wizards is tied to a project that's wrapping up, so I'm looking for my next role in content, communications, editorial operations, or publishing. I'm in Seattle and open to hybrid or remote.
Portfolio
Three projects in depth. I've linked public samples where I can.
Selected publishing credits

A major WPN update created a lot of connected guidance that had to stay accurate while the program changed underneath it. My work spans writing, substantial revision, editorial QA, Contentful preparation, and localization handoff.
Five titles, multi-round editing, author queries, continuity checks, and final manuscript preparation inside Vinspire's house workflow.
A 3,000-word editing practicum where I can show the whole process: proposal, developmental and line editing, queries, style sheet, revisions, and final delivery.
Two kinds of work
My work falls into two closely related areas.
I write and edit articles, announcements, FAQs, emails, and interface copy, then carry approved content through QA, CMS staging, and localization handoff. Most of what I catch comes from reading those pieces as a set instead of one at a time.
Manuscript work, from developmental notes down to the final proofread. Seven years of editorial work across fiction, technical, and instructional material, most of it under Chicago Manual of Style. I work with authors directly, and I query rather than assume.
If you're hiring for content, communications, editorial operations, or publishing work, I'd like to hear about it.
