Copy Editing & Publishing
Pegasus Tales
Creator, Writer & Producer: Monica Joy
Pegasus Tales is a children’s series created, written, and produced by animation industry virtuoso Monica Joy (Moonbug Entertainment, Nickelodeon). Encompassing picture books and an animated program, audiences will be enchanted by Pegasus Tales’ spirited sense of adventure and lessons in courage, compassion, and curiosity. As Ms. Joy’s story editor and creative consultant, my duties span editing and proofreading manuscripts for grammatical clarity and narrative cohesion to reviewing animation scripts: checking for proper grammar/syntax, streamlining dialogue, and ensuring clear scene direction. In addition to developing and presenting concepts for future projects, suffice it to say that Pegasus Tales is one creative (ad)venture I’m excited to help realize.
Star Wars: Creatures, Ships & Droids
Publisher: Time Books, Inc. | Producer: 10Ten Media
In 2016, having taken notice of my work on the official Star Wars website and familiarity with the franchise, editorial content producer 10Ten Media—on behalf of Lucasfilm Ltd.—approached me with the offer to proofread their poster book Star Wars: Creatures, Ships & Droids, an officially licensed publication highlighting fun facts about the various characters and vehicles of the Star Wars universe. An urgent project—its release scheduled to coincide with The Force Awakens—I was responsible for combing through the copy on each poster, noting grammatical/syntactical errors or facts that required amending (cross-referenced with approved Lucasfilm resources). Near the deadline, I was then given the additional task of providing ghost-written copy variations for added pages.
