Meredith is a leading publisher of lifestyle magazines and websites, with scores of titles related to food, crafts, home and garden, health and family, and more. My specialty: home design.

Among them: • Kitchen + Bath Ideas • Beautiful Kitchens & Baths • Traditional Home • Tuscan Style• Décor • Elegant HomesThis work requires copy editing skills, of course.

USA TODAY was, at the time I worked there, the largest-circulation newspaper in the country and a brand recognized worldwide. As a copy editor in the News section, I handled national, foreign and political news. I edited for grammar, style and structure and wrote headlines, photo captions and other display type, but my contributions went well beyond chasing commas: • I led multiple sessions on writing and editing topics for the newspaper's internal training program, as well as for outside venues such as the Freedom Forum, the Wilmington Writers'​ Workshop and the annual convention of the National Hispanic Journalists Association.• I served on a task force that overhauled policies on fact-checking and attribution to increase accuracy in the news pages. • In 2002, I was the first copy editor ever to receive USA TODAY's internal award for contributions to enterprise journalism, for my role in a first-of-its-kind examination of the factors that decided who lived and who died at the World Trade Center. • In 2005, I received the inaugural Robinson Prize, the highest award given by the American Copy Editors Society.

The Des Moines Register of the early to mid-1990s was a nationally respected newspaper with a reputation for quality and empathy. As a copy editor on the night desk, I handled material from the city, state, business and wire desks. I also filled a variety of other roles as needed: designing pages; assembling the daily national and foreign news lineup; writing the lighthearted "People in the News" column; preparing radio-ready versions of Register stories; and occasionally running the city desk late at night.
