I am currently working as an independent contractor for several publishing clients. I'm interested in expanding into to new areas with publishers I haven't worked with previously.
Friendly, knowledgeable, and comfortable working with designers, editors, and authors to find just the right content. I'm equally at home tracking costs and working with finance to stay within budget or negotiating fees with photo agencies and photographers.
I oversaw photo research, photo permissions/compliance, budgets, tracking for dozens of projects. Clients include Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, Heinemann, Pearson, Zaner-Bloser, Benchmark, Delta Education, Nat Geo, Ranger Rick.
I worked closely with design, editorial, and finance - producing hundreds of books for all the major education publishers.
In-house photo research for the School Division. Main focus was on Social Studies. Working closely with photo agencies, historical societies, museums, and independent photographers to find existing imagery for books.
Edited and researched news photos for magazines and textbooks, representing the hundreds of photographers in the photo agency.
