| I have worked as a magazine editor since 1995, when I joined the four-person editorial staff of AMC Outdoors, the magazine of the Appalachian Mountain Club. AMC is a Northeast-regional nonprofit recreation and conservation organization with more than 90,000 members. Published 10 times a year, AMC Outdoors averages 80 pages per issue. I was responsible for creating a story list, assigning stories and illustrations to freelancers, acquiring photography, line editing stories in my departments, and writing news stories. When my colleague Madeleine Eno and I served as co-editors (1999–2003), the magazine garnered several national awards, including a 2000 Clarion Award from Women in Communications for Best Overall Internal Magazine. In 2000, I cut back to part-time at AMC Outdoors to finish my studies in landscape history. Under the mentorship of editor Judith B. Tankard, I served as deputy editor of the 2002 Journal of the New England Garden History Society, an annual scholarly publication. I went on to edit the 2003 Journal, which involved issuing a call for papers, assembling a group of peer reviewers to read article proposals, assigning articles, reading and disseminating draft articles to peer reviewers, assigning book reviews, working with authors during revisions, and shepherding all text and art through final production. Since June 2004, I have pursued freelance editing as well as writing. Among other projects, I have edited several feature-length articles for Landscape Architecture, the magazine of record for the American Society of Landscape Architects. | ||||
