Freelance writing and editing:

I'm a member of the American Society of Journalists and Authors (ASJA), and edited PC Magazine's Utilities column from March 1993 to December 2002. To see examples of my editing, visit the PC Magazine Utilities site, and scroll down until you see "TradeKeys". I edited all the articles from "TradeKeys" down.
