About the Presenter

David Lombardino started his career in 2001 as an editor for the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) headquarters in Paris, France, where he mastered the knowledge and skills needed to edit a broad range of documents, from CVs and policy documents to institutional reports and speeches. One highlight was editing live draft resolutions projected on auditorium screens at general conferences while delegates from all UNESCO’s 194 member states debated them. Concurrently, he pursued his passion for writing fiction, publishing short stories in literary journals The Helix, Sonora Review and Soundings East. He returned to the U.S. in 2008 to found a premier editing, critique, consultation and proofreading company, and thus began DLA Editors & Proofers.
