My blog posts share my thoughts and reflections on my experiences as an editor, project manager, content writer, and as a person.
Understanding my skills and experiences
Creating this freelance website was an interesting task. I sat down to face my blank screen and had to work out the services I would offer, but as I progressed, I also remembered and learnt a lot about myself.
I realised that the combination of editing, project management and content writing has made each element stronger.
Reasons for my project management success
Looking back over 20 years of project management experience I can identify several reasons for my projects’ success.
This includes my style and approach to managing partners and information, and my editorial control of research deliverables.
Co-coordinating the CIEP Local Group
It is always good to start a new chapter. I am therefore delighted to have become the co-coordinator of the Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading (CIEP) Warwickshire/Coventry local group.
Joining the CIEP was one of the best decisions I have made and I am extremely grateful for everything that has come from my membership. Through this role, I have the chance to contribute to the CIEP community and support fellow editors and proofreaders.
Why I am grateful to be an introvert
I picked up a book during a training course and found it captivating and I couldn’t put it down. It explained to me who I was and the benefits of being an introvert.
It is no exaggeration to say that borrowing that book changed my life. I read it with a sense of shock, repeatedly thinking ‘that explains the time when…’ as it gave me solutions to so many unanswered questions.
