Editing
Most recently I worked as a copy editor on special reports for George Soros’s non-profit human rights organization, Open Society Foundations, which has invested $10 billion in building tolerant democracies.
Prior to OSF, I worked for the Global Commission on Drug Policy, an organization that advocates for informed, science-based discussion about humane and effective ways to reduce the harm caused by drugs.
Additionally, I’ve worked an editor for Open Road Integrated Media, editing everything from the Boxcar Children to a 700 page nonfiction tome on the Kennedy assassination.
I also worked as an acquisitions editor for Carolina Academic Press, a small law publisher with a staff of thirteen that produces over ninety books annually. There I served as a liaison for authors throughout the entire publishing process—from nascent idea inception to post-release marketing. During my tenure, the ebook division saw a 36% sales increase.
Open Society Foundations
I copy edited “The Impact of Drug Policy on the Environment,” the focus of an event leading up to the 2016 UN General Assembly Special Session on drugs for Open Society Foundations.
Global Commission on Drug Policy
I copy edited "The Negative Impact of Drug Control on Public Health: The Global Crisis of Avoidable Pain," for the Global Commission on Drug Policy, launching it’s third thematic report at the International Harm Reduction Conference in Kuala Lumpur.
Open Road Integrated Media
I proofread ebook editions of popular novels for Open Road —NY Times Best Sellers and Pulitzer Prize Finalists. I also provided feedback and analysis for ongoing marketing.
Carolina Academic Press
With Carolina Academic Press I acquired titles and liaised with authors to assess viability of law and academic book proposals. Additionally, I provided substantive editing, copyediting, proofreading, and typecoding for law and academic manuscripts. The ebook division saw 36% sales increase in 2011-12.
