Hi there, my name is Sara, I am a Forest Hill resident (have been for over 2 years), I live literally around the corner from Horniman and would be very interested in this position as volunteer newsletter editor. I have been looking for a way I could help out at the Horniman pretty much since I moved here, so this would be ideal for me!

I have about 8 years of experience working in publishing and communications, I have edited a number of different types of publications, including magazines, newsletters, journals, as well as books during my time at Hodder & Stoughton. I've worked in the not-for-profit charity sector for the last 5 years. I am currently working the Institute of Physics in central London as their corporate communications officer. Here I am responsible for overseeing production of all branded communications outputs, in print and increasingly online. I have a good knowledge of InDesign, I don't currently have a copy of my own, but I am seriously considering getting it!

I'd be happy to send you more information, or examples of my work, as you see fit. My number is 07825 134 501, or you can e-mail me directly at sara.carbone@rocketmail.com

I look forward to hearing back from you soon.

All the best,
Sara Carbone
