Jennifer Greenhill-Taylor has been a journalist for more than two decades, working in a variety of positions in several newsrooms since getting her degree in Communications at University of North Florida. Currently a freelance writer/editor, she has supervised staff writers, and assigned and edited freelance stories to produce weekly travel sections, and biweekly county sections. Successfully dealing with both daily and weekly production deadlines honed her ability to balance long-term planning with attention to detail.
Positions including county editor, wire editor, copy editor, film and theater critic and feature writer helped fine-tune her writing and editing skills. An earlier career in medical research imparted a deep expertise in health and medical writing. Her work earned awards from Florida Society of Newspaper Editors and Florida Press Club.
Online expertise includes web design and content management, in addition to co-owning, with her partner Joseph Hayes, two respected sites for writers. Inked-In is a three-year-old social network for writers, artists and musicians, which has a membership of more than 500 individuals from around the world. Online writers' resource, The Burry Man Writers Center, has been advising freelance writers for more than a decade.
She is also a skilled event planner, having helmed book signing parties, cultural events including literary readings in New York and Orlando and music festivals, theater performances, wedding receptions, and cultural exchange performances.
Greenhill-Taylor was born in Edinburgh, Scotland, and writes about Scotland for travel publications. She became an American citizen in 1976 in Washington. She has lived in four countries and a dozen states, and travels widely for pleasure and profit. She lives in Orlando with her partner, playwright and freelance writer Joseph Reed Hayes.
Two decades as a
working journalist gave
me a solid and clear code of ethics: Every piece of writing that I work on or
produce for you will be original work.
