Content and content management for print and digital media

I have 18 years' experience in publishing, producing content and services for public service and commercial organisations.
 
On the content side I am a copywriter, subeditor and commissioner. (I have covered lots of subject areas but specialise in education, tax and finance.)
 
On the services side I commission and implement publishing systems and processes. I have a strong technical background and have hands-on experience ranging from scripting content conversions to building websites.
 
I began my editorial career (before that I was a bookseller) in '92 with Dorling Kindersley working on educational books.
 
Amongst other things, I've:

• Commissioned and managed HM Revenue & Customs' Self Assessment and Migrant Workers websites
• Commissioned and managed Directgov's benefits, pensions and debt websites
• Devised and launched services for BBC New Media including the travel news site and the BBC's first personalised services
• Devised and produced CD-ROMs and DVDs for Dorling Kindersley - including The Way Things Work, World Explorer, Night Sky and Holocaust
• Implemented cross-platform content management and publishing systems (Librios) for The AA, David and Charles, F+W, Krause and others
• Undertaken legacy content conversions (from sources such as Word, InDesign, CSV and relational DB to XML) for The AA, David and Charles, F+W, Krause, Berg (A&C Black) and others

I have also developed content and services for BBC Education, Ofsted, BT, Royal and Sun Alliance, FT.com, Cahoot, The Arts Council, The Health Education Authority and Railtrack.
 
I'm currently:

• Implementing cross-platform content management and publishing systems (Librios) for several publishers (including F+W, and The AA)
• Working with i-Publishing Consultants (consultancy and technology for publishers)
• Converting legacy content to XML for Berg (A&C Black)
• Commissioning, building (using HTML, SSI, Ruby and SQL) and managing websites for a number of small businesses.
