Summary:
I have worked as a writer for newspapers, educational television, science and technology museums, and art museums. I have written and/or translated scripts, documentaries, museography texts, art catalogs, and sundry material. I have also written plays and other creative material.
Skills & Experience:
I worked for several years in educational television. I started as a writer and became the head writer of the station. I wrote scripts to illustrate and teach literature to adults and high school level students. I also directed the writing of a program targeting hispanic children both in Mexico and the US.
As a writer for various science and technology museums, I wrote scripts for documentary films. I have also written articles for corporate magazines and newspapers. While working in an art museum, I wrote catalogs for exhibitions as well as proposals for funding.
I have also worked on many projects for business customers, especially product and services presentations and slide shows.
Detailed Service Description:
I am fluent in both English and Spanish. I can work from an outline of the project or a general description and intended message.
If asked to write an article on a particular subject or theme, I can do my own research and propose an outline to the prospective client.
If the client so wishes, I can translate my own writing from English into Spanish or visa versa.
My usual speed is about 500 words an hour; but, depending on the subject matter, I may need additional time for spell checking, collaboration of facts, re-writing, etc.
