Jake Widman

I'm a versatile, award-winning writer and editor with extensive experience in technology, business, and scientific subjects. My primary experience is in the area of computer technology--from personal, consumer, and small-business technology to enterprise-level systems. But I also write regularly about digital design and printing, served as contract editor of a peer-reviewed magazine covering artificial intelligence, and have written about scientific topics for a lay audience. I've written newsbriefs, personal and business profiles, product reviews, white papers, and more. My editors come back to me because I'm able to communicate complex material in an accessible, conversational manner. My writers appreciate my ability to make their writing better while still letting them sound like themselves. I like writing and editing because I keep learning new things, so I embrace the opportunity to explore new subjects (and pick them up quickly). Specialties: Macs, iPods and iPads, techy gadgets, design, digital printing. Expert in Microsoft Word; skilled in Adobe Photoshop and InDesign, Microsoft PowerPoint, and Apple Pages and Keynote; adept with CQ5, Movable Type, Joomla, TeamSite, Drupal, and LiveLink CMS/blogging tools; know my way around basic HTML; comfortable in Illustrator, Numbers, and Excel.
