DianeFoose
DIANE L. FOOSE's interest in medical and scientific literature began when, as a child, she loved to peruse the medical books and journals in her physician grandfather's library. Little did she know that childhood interest would lead to more than 20 years of experience as a full-time freelance copy editor and proofreader of books and journals in the fields of medicine and health, engineering, mathematics, law, the environment, and the social sciences.
Diane has edited/proofread many books, includingArguments and Fists: Political Agency and Justification in Liberal Theory; Race-ing Art History: Critical Readings in Race and Art History; Children and Disasters; Nicolas Slonimsky: Writings on Music; Tourism Planning: Basics, Concepts, Cases; II-VI Semiconductor Materials and Their
Applications; and Some Stories Are Better than Others: Doing What Works in Brief Therapy and Managed Care. Some of the journals she has worked on are The Journal of Legal Medicine, Polycyclic Aromatic Compounds, Critical Reviews in Analytical Chemistry, Health Care for Women International, Ocean Development and International Law, Comparative Strategy, Traffic Injury Prevention, and Numerical Heat Transfer.
Diane's assignments require an in-depth knowledge of editorial practices, familiarity with specific editorial styles (Chicago, APA, AMA), an understanding of scientific and technical terms, and the ability to handle tables, figures, equations, and other materials.
Diane is a perfectionist, who is proud of being meticulous in her work. Her career has allowed her the enjoyment of constantly learning about new and exciting developments in many different fields. That is what journalism is all about:performing with perfection in diverse subject areas. As the old saying goes, "Journalists know a little bit about everything, but not a whole lot about anything."
