Innovative, precise, speedy work delivered on schedule—these traits mark my work on all projects. I have been a writer and editor for more than 25 years. I am the author of The Complete Guide to Pickling: Pickle and Ferment Everything Your Garden or Market Has to Offer (Rockridge Press, 2020) and the weekly Twice as Tasty food column for the Flathead Beacon, named after my food blog at TwiceAsTasty.com.My writing and photography have also appeared online for publications such as The Spruce Eats, Health.com, Kitchn, Taste of Home, the Old Farmer's Almanac website, Clean Plates, Fifth Season, and Greatist; in the 2020 Waggoner Cruising Guide; and in numerous local newspapers and magazines. I also teach cooking workshops and prepare food as a personal chef.As an editor, I excel at everything from "big picture" and line editing (looking at an entire piece for flow, content, and tone) to the small details of copy editing and proofreading. I not only help frame and structure a project but also catch holes in material, fine-tune language, correct grammar and style, and generally help writing flow smoothly. My writing experience enhances my editing, allowing me to quickly prepare pieces for publication. I have been a freelance writer and editor since 2003 and am accustomed to working independently to produce the best possible results in the required time.Specialties:—Editing: Web content, press releases, reports, advertising, books, scientific and academic journals, and technical material—Writing: Web content, social media content, press releases, news and feature stories, columns, books—Content: Emphasis on food, gardening, fitness, and health; experience with green jobs and living, music, writing, history, education, politics, media, marketing, medicine, ecology, psychology, physics, mathematics, and technologyMy recent writing work can be found in my portfolio at MuckRack.com, on my Twice as Tasty website, and in my published cookbooks.
