| NANCY J. ASHMORE, FREELANCE WRITER / EDITOR |
| As publications manager at St. Olaf College and before that as director of publications at Carleton College (both located in Northfield, Minn.), I oversaw the writing, editing, design and production of hundreds of print and electronic publications annually while managing budgets totaling more than $200,000. My responsibilities encompassed everything from student recruitment materials and the college catalog to special events communications and publications in support of a $125 million campaign. |
| During my tenures at these two nationally renowned liberal arts colleges, I served as editor of their alumni magazines and edited a weekly campus print and web newsletter for St. Olaf employees. I was also the St. Olaf College “stylemaster,” the person designated to advise campus writers on capitalization, punctuation and other style issues connected with non-scholarly, mass-media publications and correspondence written for and about St. Olaf College. |
| I began my career in New York City where I served first as an editorial assistant for a noted publisher of reference books and then as an editor at the Consulate General of Japan. There I wrote and produced The Japan Report, a biweekly, eight-page newsletter for Americans on Japanese politics, economics, and culture, in addition to handling speech writing, news analysis and research. |
| As a freelancer and volunteer, I have crafted the public relations materials of a progressive private school (K-5) and text for the web site of a startup e-business. I’ve also edited a variety of books, including a history of reproductive politics in Puerto Rico, a study guide on comparative politics for Advanced Placement™ students, novels and a short story anthology. |
