More Generally
Editor Sole Proprietor, Editorial Services Company
Learn American Medical Association editorial style. Edit peer-reviewed journal manuscripts and textbooks. Hire, train, and manage editors. Engage new publishing-house clients and the occasional author. Maintain quality. Edit both fiction and nonfiction for a wide range of publishers.
Copywriter
Hollywood: Write theatrical trailers and television ads for Hollywood studio movies (example: “They say no man is an island: They never heard of Henri Young.” Murder in the First, a movie about the three-year solitary confinement of a prisoner on Alcatraz) as well as movie titles (example: Wings of Courage).
Medscape: Give Medscape’s consumer website, CBSHealthWatch, a recognizable, attractive “voice.”
Quintiles: “Voice” two websites created to be used by physicians in educating other physicians and health professionals about new pharmaceutical products. The websites served as communications channels between the pharmaceutical companies and the physician educators hired to distribute information about new treatments.
Journalist
The St. Petersburg Times (now The Tampa Bay Times). Day-to-day coverage of all beats as needed, including sports. Job ended when the bureau I was in was closed.
The Seminole Courier (Seminole, Florida). Managing editor, reporter, photographer, headline and caption writer, layout everything but advertising. Need for editor ended when paper became a pennysaver all advertising.
Medscape/CBSHealthWatch.com. Senior editor while building, launching, maintaining, and growing an award-winning medical website for the average person but based on the quality and reputation of the physician website Medscape. Eventually taken over by WebMD at the end of the Internet Bubble.
