Experience

I have experience with InDesign as this was the software that I used during my publishing seminars. Often, I had to set up margins myself and add pages as well as linking to other pages within the same document or linking to a website. I often used this software with the help of a guidebook from my university tutors which allowed me to work independently. 

As stated on my CV, I undertook a placement year. During this time I edited an aspiring authors novel using Track Changes within Microsoft Word. This was very beneficial as it helped me develop a working and respectful relationship with an author. Throughout this I learned how to give constructive criticism as well as developed an understanding of the importance of giving praise to an author to maintain a positive relationship. By undertaking this I became more aware and understanding of the bond between an author and their work.
