Mabie A has been working in the digital content & marketing industry since 2006, taking on various roles ranging from content writer to managing editor. Currently, she is working as the Content Strategist & Developer for the in-house marketing team of an art university in California.

Mabie's writing and editing experience go hand in hand, although writing did come first and foremost. Her first editorial job was as an assistant editor, one year into her first content writing job. Since them, her work experience largely vacillated between the two roles, often interchangeably. Even in her team lead/trainer capacities, she would still often find herself taking on writing and editorial tasks; being in content production, it simply cannot be helped.

The same goes for her freelance jobs. She has been doing freelance writing/editing since 2012, most of which are for long-term clients. Among Mabie's longest stints was as a content contributor to one of the biggest media publications in the Philippines, where she was previously based.

Mabie considers efficiency to be one of her strong suits, especially when it comes to meeting tight deadlines. She credits her training and experience at her first job for this, where she was tasked to write at least seven 400-word articles a day. While quantity has always been a subject of great focus for most of these content production jobs, quality is always the priority for her.

She's also learned through her years of experience that communication is crucial in dealing with clients. The brief sometimes will not be as clear or informative as it needs to be, in which case, it is up to the freelancer to reach out to the client for clarification. A writer/editor should not assume or fill in the blanks in the brief in behalf of the client, but rather should verify the information with them. It may be an extra step in the process, but ultimately, this will save time for both parties by avoiding the tedious, and sometimes unnecessary, back and forth of clarifications with the produced work.
