I copyedited complete books using The Chicago Manual of Style, working from my home office and cybercommunicating with my editor.I also worked for this company at their offices, 1996–2002. At that time I acted in the following capacities: salesperson and company representative at trade shows, developmental editor, copy editor, researcher, and desktop publisher. The books I edited included the following: The Vision of Modern Dance (for which I was given coauthorship because of my extensive work), Get Stronger by Stretching with Thera-Band®, and Prime Movers (2nd edition, which I updated with the deceased author’s newspaper articles).

I edited and fact-checked standardized test questions following ETS house style, the specific styles of individual test forms, and The Chicago Manual of Style; proofread prepublication test mock-ups in hard-copy and electronic forms; and participated in staff problem solving.

I executed all project conception, grant proposals, publicity, correspondence, and recordkeeping for my work as a freelance choreographer, teacher, dancer, researcher, and writer.

I was invited to be Guest Editor for Doris Humphrey: A Centennial Issue by Muriel Topaz, former director of the dance division of the Juilliard School and Executive Editor of Choreography and Dance. I solicited and edited articles, wrote the introduction and an article, chose photographs, and saw the journal through the entire production process.In a letter of recommendation, Topaz wrote: “The Humphrey project was conceived, planned and executed by Ms. Mindlin in a most professional manner. Everything went just as it should, a rarity. She is extremely intelligent, organized and practical. She will produce what she says she will produce. And, she will write about it with skill and sensitivity.”
