Stephen Beale in time machine

I am a seasoned writer and editor, especially adept at conveying complex topics in clear, engaging prose.

My work has encompassed a wide range of subjects, including business, technology, healthcare, media, graphic arts, and pop culture. In recent years, some of my work has involved visual storytelling with photos and video.

Recent freelance clients include The Dark Report, a publication for medical laboratories, and The Streamable, where I edited a daily e-mail newsletter that covered streaming services.

Other career highlights:

  • Founder and publisher of The Steampunk Explorer, a top online destination for steampunk fans (2018 to present; find it here).
  • Founding editor of Bulldog Reporter's Inside Health Media (2005-2019).
  • Freelance contributor to HOW, a trade publication for graphic designers (1997-2017).
  • Author or co-author of eight books on computer applications in graphic arts and publishing. I have edited books as well.

I have extensive experience with Microsoft Office, the Adobe Creative Cloud, and content management systems including WordPress, Drupal, and Backdrop.

In addition to writing and editing, I’m available for print and online production work, as well as consulting and training related to these applications.
