The job description of Office Manager and Publications Manager is the same in 2009 as it was during my first six years at CSC (1986-1992) with one important exception: The deliverables of the 21st Century are digital. Regardless, the priority work remains running the office smoothly and providing a broad base of support to the professional staff, which has been working in the field of historic preservation and conservation since 1974. Publication production includes proposals, reports, brochures, books, press releases, web site development and maintenance, and marketing materials as well as general administrative support.

Univ. “WordScribe has been a valuable resource for the college
essays my daughter and son had to write. The editor is professional and
caring and coached a great essay out of both of them. WordScribe’s
approach is comprehensive; they even make sure the essays address all
the writing requirements for each particular college’s applications.
This service is a great resource for the complicated process of college
applications.”
Student, Wittenburg University (Springfield, Ohio).
“WordScribe helped me with thorough and thoughtful analysis of all my
admissions essays. They encouraged me without writing the essay for me.
All of these aspects are the perfect combination to quickly write a
well-organized essay.”
