Rhonda Wray

I’m a meticulous editor with extensive manuscript acquisition, copywriting, and content creation experience. I bring a strong track record as a critical evaluator of proposals, research, and manuscripts, with deep grammar knowledge across syntax, punctuation, and spelling mechanics.

In my recent role as an Editor for BEACON Senior News, I plan monthly magazine issues by creating and curating content for “60,000 readers in Colorado Springs and Pueblo.” I write feature articles (20+ per month), manage development for freelance writers, and maintain editorial quality by copyediting and proofreading every issue using Adobe Acrobat while keeping projects moving smoothly from concept to publication.

Across my career, I’ve handled acquisitions and production editing for Christian drama scripts, negotiated author contracts, proofread for errors in spelling/punctuation/syntax, and rewrote portions of manuscripts for marketability and readability. I also fact-check and rewrite content for accuracy and consistency in style and tone, track timelines with Trello and other tools, and partner across teams on visuals, layout direction, and long-term editorial planning.
