I have published hundreds of stories, maybe greater than a thousand, in more than 10 years as a sportswriter, copy editor and sports editor for several publications.
I also have experience writing press releases, and creating brochures and media guides as a communications assistant.
As an editor, I am an expert in AP style and thorough enough that I passed the Philadelphia Inquirer’s difficult, four-hour copy editing examination and subsequent weeklong tryout.
Unfortunately, most of the links to my stories no longer exist. I have linked a few here and the list will grow as I re-type some of my favorites into archives.
