Mark B.
Editor/Proofreader/Subject Matter Expert
I have more than 30 years of experience in both an editorial capacity and in various office environments and would make a good candidate for your position. These jobs have been as varied as media (newspapers, magazines, and Internet), search engine marketing (Microsoft and Google), and construction. These positions have required me to be very detail-oriented and to manage multiple tasks simultaneously. My current specialties include editing for products (including descriptions and reviews), content related to small businesses of all types, including real estate, insurance, accounting, and banking, health and fitness, and niche businesses and startups. My clients in this area have included notable companies like Fit Small Business, Forbes Advisor, Forbes Global Properties, Fortune Recommends, Centerfield, Digital.com, Homefield Health, eZdia, Amazon and Amazon Web Services, eBay, Walmart, and many others. Additionally, I also have a culinary arts degree, have worked as a chef, and copy edited and proofread several cookbooks and diet-related books. From my newspaper days, I have a great deal of experience related to sports content of all types - both team and individual. I also have extensive multimedia experience and even publish a music-related blog on a daily basis.
