Joseph Dionisio – Editor

Joseph is a book editor/author/screenwriter/journalist whose stories appear in the Los Angeles Times, Washington Post, NY Daily News, Chicago Tribune, USA Today and internationally.

Simon & Schuster, McGraw Hill, HarperCollins, Prentice Hall and St. Martin’s Press are just a few of the publishers who trust my editorial talents. So have National Public Radio, PBS, ESPN, Warner Brothers, Madison Square Garden TV — where my writing team won 2 Emmys — and the Polk Journalism Awards.

During my extensive literary career, I've edited, authored and/or ghostwritten dozens of successful books, and was managing editor of a Manhattan publisher specializing in upscale coffee-table books. A New York native, I now reside in Santa Barbara, California and Block Island, Rhode Island.

If you need editing for topics such as the arts, personal biography, humor, Progressive social/political issues, sports, investigative journalism or media analysis, you've come to the right place. If your literary project focuses on mathematics, computer software or why billionaires deserve a tax break, I'm a square peg.

Having served as a university writing professor — as well as an assistant to Elaine Steinbeck, widow of iconic novelist John Steinbeck — you can rest assured my work is top caliber.
