I have experience with giving feedback on writing face-to-face, editing large documents, creating style sheets, collaborative writing, designing, and editing, and with hosting workshops on writing. I am the type of writer who plans - throughout every stage of the writing process, I keep track of what has been done and what needs to be done. I enjoy writing in groups because I value the exchange of ideas that occurs when people know that their opinions are valued and their skills are recognized; this being said, I am capable of writing independently in more structured environments and under time constraints.
