Message: <blockquote data-quote="Mirth" data-source="post: 382159" data-attributes="member: 5242">Ryan,Thanks for the reply. I edited my post above to correct Natural 20 (I knew that's what it was, but I blame sleep deprivation <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> ).Also, thanks for the chance to edit Asgard magazine. This foot-in-the-door offer is exactly what I was looking for, so I will DEFINITELY take you up on it. I can make a more formal resume for you if you like, but I'll quickly run down my specific editing experience here. As a graduate student, I worked as an assistant to a professor who published three scholarly texts while I was there. On all of these, I acted as a proofreader, assistant copyeditor and bibliographic fact-checker. <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0313294771/qid%3D1032610439/sr%3D11-1/ref%3Dsr%5F11%5F1/102-9697082-6948903" target="_blank">The Dark Fantastic</a> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0313289409/qid%3D1032610625/sr%3D11-1/ref%3Dsr%5F11%5F1/102-9697082-6948903" target="_blank">Young Adult Science Fiction</a><a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0815314825/qid%3D1032610776/sr%3D11-1/ref%3Dsr%5F11%5F1/102-9697082-6948903" target="_blank">The Mabinogi: A Book Of Essays</a> I worked as an assistant editor on the Children's Folklore Review, a scholarly journal. Graduate students are able to teach courses, so I taught the two introductory college English courses - Composition & Rhetoric and Argument (one of which was an honors class). My job at the college newspaper was as the Editor of the Lifestyles section (think Arts & Entertainment), where my responsibilities included hiring staff, writing articles, copyediting, proofreading, page layout, etc. I was an assistant for the Eastern NC Folklore Archive, where (among many other tasks) I did page layout and editing for their newsletter. Finally, I worked as a tutor for the English department.I've also had 20 years of retail experience in the book and music industry. I currently co-own my own book & music store in Black Mountain, NC.I hope that's enough info to get started and again thanks for the kind and generous offer.Jay Myers<a href="mailto:mirthcard@yahoo.com">mirthcard@yahoo.com</a></blockquote>
