      Re: Class project

      I'm a full-time marketing and PR writer for a New York-based broadcast PR firm. My answers appear below:

      * What kind of planning do you do before you write? do you make a list? Formal or informal outlines? I don't bother with lists or outlines, but I do collect an assortment of pre-existing documents I or others have written in the past on some aspect of my topic; I also keep an 'ideas' file on topics of interest to me and relevance to my industry which serve as inspirational triggers to get me in writing mode.

      *How do you compose your drafts? do you dictate? Draft with a pen and paper? Compose on screen? I use MS Word.

      * when you want advice about style. grammer, and spelling what source (s) do you consult? As a former newspaper reporter, I rely on the Asociated Press Style Book, which is updated each year and which is considered an industry standard.

      * Do you ever work with other writers to produce a single document? If so describe the process you use. I have mostly worked for small to mid-sized companies where i am the sole write.

      Hope that helps.
