Member Profile
Daniel Vargo
I’m a detail-oriented, thorough, and organized editor with over five years of experience in print and digital publishing. After four years as the assistant editor of biology textbooks at W. W. Norton and a year as a copy editor at GeneReviews, a point-of-care resource for genetic clinicians, I have developed the editorial skills and scientific fluency to edit books, web content, journal articles, and more. My clients have included Mountaineers Books, Accdon, W. W. Norton, and the University of California San Diego Health Services.
I am committed to producing quality content and communicating clearly and tactfully. My services include copyediting, proofreading, developmental editing, UX writing, structural editing, content research, image research, website planning, content management, writing for search engine optimization (SEO), developing information architecture (IA), documentation development (house style guides, procedure manuals), and more.
On top of my professional experience, I have the technical skills to handle any project. Computer skills include Word, Acrobat, InDesign, Figma, PowerPoint, LaTex, Excel, website content management systems (including Drupal-based systems), social media (Twitter/X, LinkedIn), and web-based research. I leverage a host of word-processing features to improve the quality and efficiency of my work.
Style manuals include the Chicago Manual of Style, AP Stylebook, AMA Manual of Style, and Scientific Style and Format: The CSE Manual. I also develop style sheets and manuals for clients.
I hold a certificate in UX writing from the UX Content Collective and a technical writing certification through the University of Washington.
