Christopher Dare: Editor and Copywriter

Introduction: I'm a dedicated editor and writer with more than a decade of experience in online media, technology, and the entertainment industry, and I'm currently pursuing contract work while remaining open to a full-time position. I work most frequently as a copy editor and copywriter. I bring a passion for the written word and a proven track record of accurate, on-time freelance work, and as such, I'm confident that I am the ideal candidate for the position or project you're looking to fill. In my vision, a modern-day copy editor doesn't simply improve text; I shepherd a creative project through many phases, ensuring excellence from conception to the point where it's in front of the reader's eyes. The most important question to ask is always who those readers are and what their needs entail. Is the copy clear and concise? Will it fit the format--and the audience? Do all of the links work? Does the page look good in every browser? Similarly, as a writer, I frame my voice to fit the medium. Over the course of my career, I've crafted marketing brochures, sales emails, interactive online menus (including the portal that CREDO Mobile uses to activate all of its mobile phones), one-sheet biographies for musical groups, and a variety of writing on music and other subjects for Pitchfork and my own personal blog, Relics of our Time. I'm reliable, dedicated, insightful, easy to work with, and actively looking for work, particularly in the realms of technology, entertainment, and games. Please get in touch if you have any questions or think I would be a good fit for your job.
