Copyediting, proofreading, and data checking a range of materials for the pharmaceutical industry. Tasks include preparing manuscripts for journal submission, involving editing for journal style, utilising EndNote to format references and checking page proofs. Working closely with writers, client services and designers to develop high quality congress posters often to very tight deadlines. I work extensively with Microsoft Office and am particularly proficient in Word and PowerPoint.

Taking creative briefs direct from clients in the pharmaceutical sector (including AbbVie, Sanofi, Novartis and Johnson & Johnson) to develop a range of printed and electronic publications for international medical meetings from training sessions to advisory boards to symposia. Responsible for setting up production schedules and keeping multiple projects on time and within budget. I allocate resources using in-house or external suppliers. I follow the project through to completion. This might be sending a monograph to print, signing it off on press and overseeing despatch, the development and maintenance of a website or going on-site to ensure a meeting runs smoothly, working closely with clients, faculty and venue. I am responsible for negotiating the print costs, establishing the right finish for a job and working fluidly around often very tight deadlines. Quality control also rests with me as I am responsible for the accuracy of all printed material, ensuring corporate guidelines are adhered to and that the end product is of the highest quality and within budget. At the end of a project I am also involved with ensuring the billing process is accurate and organising debriefs.
