Unbound Bookmaker Editors
"Every writer needs an editor and every editor needs a proofreader."
Jamie Zvirzdin, Managing Editor and Creator of The Unbound Bookmaker
After graduating in 2008 from Brigham Young University in English and Editing, Jamie worked as a telecommuting editor for an online company while she and her husband lived in Italy and Belgium. During her time in Italy, she had significant opportunities to work with graduate students and helped edit, typeset, and publish their international journal and school yearbook. She started The Unbound Bookmaker in January of 2010. What began as a career in editing has expanded to include her interests in typesetting, graphic design, writing, science, and experimental literature. See www.jamiezvirzdin.com for more of her writings.
Jamie mostly enjoys scientific and technical editing: she is Coordinator of the Editing Office for Atomium Culture (a non-profit group based in Brussels that promotes research), editing articles and working with researchers to regularly publish articles in 17 major European newspapers. She is also a technical textbook editor for CRC Press. However, Jamie has edited, typeset, and designed various projects ranging from personal history books to shoreline conservation brochures to art pamphlets to political books to poetry and photo books. (See some Samples.)
Jamie, Andrew, and their son, Maxwell, live in various countries around the globe for Andrew's work. They currently live on Majuro Atoll in the Marshall Islands.
