Responsibilities: editing (Word, XML, InDesign), writing, proofreading, commissioning, project and freelancer management, budgeting, content management, fact-checking, schedule planning, designing, author liaison, tabling, indexing, contract publishing for Deloitte and professional accountancy bodies.During two spells I successfully oversaw the publication of many profitable titles relating to tax, pensions, company and employment law, ranging from 3,000-page annual textbooks to weekly newsletters and instant online Budget reports. I have worked on all of the relevant stages up to final production preparation for print, online and CD including the initial development of a title and the editing of manuscript.I was a reliable team member with a track record of delivering new titles or updates on time and to a high standard, regularly adapted to new processes or technological changes, while I also developed good, lasting relationships with colleagues, authors, external suppliers and offshore teams. I also have experience of identifying and implementing ‘best practice’ processes.During my time with LexisNexis I also launched and managed the content of a website for a specific publication, created and designed new titles using InDesign and became involved with large company-wide projects (e.g. the roll-out of new online platforms, conversion of content from Word to XML, establishment of new content management systems).

I worked as a freelancer for around nine months after a period spent travelling. The majority of my work was for my former employer, and eventually it made sense to return to full-time employment with the company.
