My work has appeared in lots of places. Here are a few of them.
Sometimes people say nice things about me.
Kevin Whipps and I both worked as copy editors at 944. During that time, we worked both together and separately on various projects. Kevin was always prepared and extremely organized, and he was great at brainstorming new ways in which we could streamline our department and production procedures. He is an incredibly detail-oriented worker who sometimes goes to great pains to do whatever it takes to guarantee that his finished product is not only his best possible work, but also exactly (or even above and beyond) what his client or coworker had in mind, making him an absolute pleasure to work with. Kevin is the guy you go to when you want something done right the first time
The things I appreciate most about Kevin as an editor include his positive encouragement and constructive feedback. He's open to new ideas and provides a great balance of structure and creative freedom. It's a pleasure to work with Kevin, who generously gives his writers opportunities to grow and learn.
I am so lucky to have been able to work with Kevin on Rebel. He is easily the most organized and driven editor I have met. Kevin has never missed a deadline and is easily the most important person to have on your team. Coming from the design side, these skills are make or break in the publishing industry. He not only has eyes like a hawk for editing, but he has an amazing way of telling stories that are thought provoking and inspiring.
Kevin is a true professional. Always deadline diligent and delivers top quality product on time, EVERY time! Through the years I have learned who to rely on and have in my corner, and Kevin is on the top of that list.
As Kevin will admit, I took a chance on him when he was hired to work as a copy editor at 944 Magazine. He was an experienced freelance writer, but had never worked in the day-to-day operations of a publication.
Thankfully, Kevin took to his new job basically from day one. I threw a lot of responsibilities and projects at him during his time, and he never backed down from the challenges. Kevin's organization and meticulous detail are keys to his success, and that can be seen in his thriving freelance roles as a writer, editor and photographer today.
In many ways, Kevin was exactly the kind of person you always hope to hire — dependable, detail-orientated and talented. He was a great addition to our team and, perhaps more importantly, made our product better.
What am I thinking about today? Who knows. Let's find out.
I used to be so good about handling my email. I’d get back to people quickly, respond with the necessary information and move on my way. But now, I’m just not doing so well with the massive influx of messages, […]
Across the Pond
Yesterday, I met some of my coworkers at Envato (the parent company for AppStorm) for the first time. Being one of those guys who works mostly on the Internet means that you don’t often have a chance to speak to […]
