Engineering Editor for International Publications

When the writing is technical but still requires creative and compelling copy, it’s helpful to have an experienced engineering editor in your back pocket — especially one who has been published in international journals and magazines.

You may wonder how one becomes an editor for engineering topics, and the bottom line is the ability to research and know your subject matter. Honestly, journalists are trained to cover a variety of topics, and editors are trained to edit a variety of topics. My background in both disciplines was useful as I reported on engineering and construction subject matter for publications such as World Coal, Dry Cargo International, World Cement, International Cement Review, and many others. But I also took some coursework to supplement my knowledge and enhance my ability to describe the wonders of engineering and construction in a way that appeals to both experts and non-experts.

The works below are a portion of my portfolio. You’ll see samples and links to some of the publications that have featured my work as an engineering editor, as well as small descriptions of each editorial project.
