Rosie Prata

Freelance Writer and Editor

Toronto, Ontario, Canada

About

I am a writer and editor skilled in print and digital publishing, magazine production, and creative copywriting. As an arts journalist, I cover topics including art, design, fashion, culture and lifestyle for titles such as CBC, Monocle, Canadian Art, the Globe and Mail, NUVO, and SSENSE. As an editor, I have held staff positions at Monocle and Canadian Art, and worked with international institutions to produce monographs and catalogues for artists including Marina Abramović, Torbjørn Rødland, Shary Boyle, Carsten Höller, Rashid Johnson, and Shuvinai Ashoona.    As a copywriter, I have developed brand guidelines for businesses in the place, travel, commerce, and culture sectors that cover tone of voice, naming, verbal identity, strategy, and campaign concepts; for instance, a custom print publication for legendary Swiss ski resort St. Moritz. In all contexts, I deliver well-researched copy that is engaging, clear, accurate, and relevant to the intended audience.
