Andrea Winn – Editor

I worked in medical publishing for 18 years as an editor, proofreader, and QA specialist. I am currently a QA specialist (copy, graphics, UI), editor, and writer for the eLearning component of a SaaS company. I can pull apart any words and rearrange them more efficiently.

My most recently completed projects are:

*Pregnancy and Postpartum Considerations for the Veterinary Team

(editor, project through Reedsy; published November 2023)

* Stanford dissertation on maintaining food sustenance in the Alaska Arctic in a changing climatic environment (proofreader)

* MD Anderson Manual of Medical Oncology, 4th edition (copyeditor)

* ReNu Advanced Tech Talk (copyeditor, one-off longform ad for boutique eyecare publisher)

* Williams Hematology, 10th edition (copyeditor)

* Lung Cancer: Standards of Care, 1st edition (developmental editor)

I started my career in 2001, editing journals in-house for a large medical publisher. Eventually, we sent our material to freelance editors and proofreaders as we took on more journals, but I still edited the short pieces myself.

As a Book Producer, I edited some of the shorter titles or workbooks myself. My other duties included:

1. Ensuring all material was complete: manuscript, figures, tables, etc

2. Sending out material for editing, proofreading, typesetting, indexing, and printing

4. Regularly communicating with authors/contributors on content, formatting, corrections, approvals

As a multimedia producer, I worked on companion websites for print books (material, scheduling, scoping, author contact, developer relationships).

Highlights:

1. Helped develop a collection of eLabs for students to conduct "hands-on" experiments virtually

2. Collaborated on the creation of hundreds of hi-definition 3-D animations of medical procedures, anatomy and physiology, and pathologies

3. Worked as the primary voiceover narrator for most of the animations

4. Did extensive QA on the publisher's eLearning platform

5. Collaborated with Subject Matter Experts to develop curricula for online medical and nursing courses

As your editor, proofreader, QA specialist, project manager, or whatever you have in mind, I will use all of this experience to keep your project moving, meet your deadlines, and make your product sing the song of your people, as it were.
