I acquire all content for the monthly, peer-reviewed journal, Horological Times, which is the official publication of the American Watchmakers-Clockmakers Institute. I edit most of the content and proofread all drafts. Working with an advisory committee, I ensure that all content is accurate and appropriate to publish. I research and report on industry news and write feature articles. I also manage the Facebook pages for both Horological Times and AWCI. I photograph events and people at AWCI for print publication and social media. Managing book publishing is also my responsibility, including reprints and new titles. I also help write copy for brochures and other marketing pieces.
