Nico Mara-McKay (June 2023)

I have been writing and editing professionally since 2010, with experience spanning copy editing print and digital magazines, managing freelancers, assessing pitches, assigning stories, scheduling content, and developing in-house style guides and lexicons. My work covers community newspapers and magazines, content writing, literary journalism, and digital communications, including online marketing, social media and newsletter management.

As a consultant and project coordinator, I help organizations design and execute projects that are efficient, inclusive, and impactful. I specialize in integrating principles of diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility into project planning, community engagement, and organizational strategy. With a proven record of managing complex, multi-stakeholder initiatives, national consultations, and community engagement projects, I guide clients in identifying barriers, developing practical solutions, and implementing processes that ensure everyone’s voice is represented and valued. Skilled in event logistics, budgeting, stakeholder relations, and cross-team collaboration, I combine strategic planning with an understanding of systemic inequities to develop and deliver initiatives that resonate with the communities they serve.
