Judith Broadhurst, owner of Polished ProseSM, wrote feature and news articles for magazines and newspapers, plus a book and chapters in three others, before turning to editing full-time.

Editing
Judith does technical editing and substantive copyediting, primarily for Internet technology, software and medical informatics companies. Currently, she edits mostly IBM developerWorks articles and tutorials for the IBM Software Group as a full-time contractor. She also edits masters' theses and doctoral dissertations that require APA style.

Journalism
Earlier in her career, she wrote more than 400 feature and news articles about using the Internet, Web content, the arts (mainly jazz, blues and contemporary dance), aging, psychology, retirement issues, women's health and healthcare technology. She taught magazine writing at The New School University, in New York, and for the Humanities extension program of the University of California, Santa Cruz. She also founded Freelance Success newsletter and its related online classes and discussion forum for freelance journalists in 1992 and sold it in 1997. Before that, she founded and led the Freelancers section in the Journalism Forum on Compuserve.

Nonfiction Books
Her first book, The Woman's Guide to Online Services (McGraw-Hill, 1995) got 100% rave reviews. She has since written chapters in three books for writers, all of which were selected for the Writer's Digest Book Club.

If you're in the Silicon Valley, San Francisco, or Monterey Bay area, she'll meet with you in person just to get acquainted, if you'd like. Then the next time you're in a crunch, you'll know you have the right person on standby. If you'd like to schedule a meeting or discuss an assignment (no obligation, of course), just call 831.336.4232 in Santa Cruz, California, or send e-mail.
