Kristin Walters

For over ten years, I’ve been working on a wide variety of marketing communications projects (brochures, websites, etc.) I’ve also written articles for a variety of magazines and newspapers. This blog features just a fraction of my writing samples—more will be added as they are converted to a web-friendly format. In the meantime, if there is any particular project type that you would like to see, let me know and I will send you a sample.

EDITING/PROOFREADING EXPERIENCE

• From 2003-2008, I was the managing editor of a 48-page, four-color magazine called The Source, which was published three times per year. In that role, I determined each issue’s content, assigned articles to writers, wrote dozens of articles myself, and edited submissions. I also worked closely with graphic designers to produce the magazine, and sold advertising to cover the cost of production. If you would like to receive a sample copy of The Source, contact me.
• In the past few years, I have also proofread publications and marketing materials for organizations such as Injoy, and design firms such as Indigo Creative Solutions.
