Bio
Tim Collie
Grace Frank is a terrific editor and a very hard worker. She came on board our organization at a time when our website was suffering from poor copy editing and an uneven news flow and was an integral part of the renewal of our website. She’s smart, diligent, and an extremely astute line editor. She was always there for us, and didn’t hesitate to put in extra time when we asked it of her. I would hire her in a second if I had the resources and wholeheartedly recommend her for any journalistic or writing endeavor.
