Offshore Editorial

Back

Welcome. This is the home of Julie Starr’s editorial services

I’ve been in the news media in New Zealand and the UK for 20 years, working in radio, newspapers and the web. Along the way I’ve gained expertise in reporting, presenting, sub-editing, workflow design, web and print integration, newsroom management and teaching journalism. I’m now based in New Zealand where I blog at The Evolving Newsroom and take on a variety of project work. I can help with:

  • newsroom workflow analysis and design
  • workshops on web tools for journalists
  • presentations on how the internet is affecting the news business
  • newsroom integration (web and print)
  • proofreading and writing

On good writing

Vigorous writing is concise. A sentence should contain no unnecessary words, a paragraph no unnecessary sentences, for the same reason that a drawing should have no unnecessary lines and a machine no unnecessary parts. This requires not that the writer make all his sentences short, or that he avoid all detail and treat his subject only in outline, but that every word tell.
