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.

As above.

Responsibilities: editing, writing, fact-checking, proofreading, reporting on US congressional hearings, producing daily morning press summary for the Ambassador and staff, general administrative tasks.I initially worked as an editorial intern on a monthly magazine called Europe, produced by the European Commission’s Washington delegation, but eventually my role expanded to incorporate several ongoing tasks for different departments (ranging from organising events to handling reception duties). I also attended congressional hearings relating to China-Nepal relations, reporting directly to Brussels.
