Here are some details on the services that I can provide:

You can also see a partial list of my clients and read what they have said about my work.

 

Writing/Editing/Proofreading/Research

Most of my career has involved writing and editing in one form or another. I wrote for a local government-oriented newsletter. I wrote theater reviews and features for Virginia newspapers. I edited a translators' newsletter for five years and a nuclear disarmament newsletter for three years. For two years I helped with the editing of the TLC News, newsletter of the Triangle Land Conservancy. I proofread transcripts for National Public Radio. I've edited books, scholarly papers, doctoral dissertations, letters, brochures, translations, and radio commentaries. You can see the details on my bio page.

Contact me if you need help researching, writing, editing, or proofreading a book, report, brochure, poster, magazine article, website, or other document.

Photography

I have made photographs of nature and other subjects for many years. You can see a sampling of nature images in my online gallery, which also includes information on buying prints of the photos.

You may also call me for specific photography assignments. I spent a memorable year doing assignment photography for the Connection newspapers in Northern Virginia, covering community events ranging from science fairs to prom queen coronations to pet parades.


Website Design and Maintenance

My web design experience includes writing and designing this website and websites for the New Hope Creek Corridor Advisory Committee, Breathing Room Radio, and www.jinternationalmedia.com. I am familiar with HTML, Dreamweaver, and CSS, and I can work with other web developers who provide more advanced web technologies. If you need a website designed or you need updates to your current site, please contact me.


German Translation

I have nearly two decades' experience translating German documents into English in such fields as zoology, botany, medicine, pharmacology, and the social sciences. You may read more about my translating experience or contact me if you need German documents translated.

For any other language services, I recommend contacting a member of the Translators and Interpreters Guild or the American Translators Association.


Administrative Support and Project Coordination

If someone on your staff is on vacation, out sick, or needs extra help with a big project, I am available to work in your office on a temporary basis. Having run my own business, served as president and treasurer of a national labor union (the Translators and Interpreters Guild), and worked in a variety of other offices, I have the general skills needed and can learn your specific procedures quickly. I can also act as your "virtual assistant" on a temporary or ongoing basis, doing your administrative and project work from my own office.

If you have a large project, perhaps requiring a combination of different talents (e.g., website design, graphic arts, writing, editing, videography), and you'd rather not juggle all this yourself, I can coordinate the project for you. I'll find the talent, serve as a conduit for communications between you and the team, and ensure the quality of the final product.
