Overview
Do you have a great idea you want to share or a compelling story to tell? I can help turn your dream into a reality.
I have twenty years of experience working on books that have been published by Bloomsbury, Harvard Business Press, Houghton Mifflin, Hudson Street Books, Jossey-Bass, New Harbinger, Penguin, Plume, Random House, Rodale, and W.W. Norton. I work regularly with leaders in business, healthcare, law, and the arts.
My Porftfolio represents books I have worked on as a developmental editor. Books As a ghost I have written book-length memoirs for an automobile executive, a man dying with ALS, a 1930s Polish radio personality who survived Soviet work camps, and a father whose young daughter battled a rare disease, among others. I have also ghosted blog posts published by Huffington Post or on company websites.
After hearing about your project, we discuss what format and process will best fit your individual needs and how I can best commit my expertise, creativity, and time. I work with interviews (in-person and Skype) as well as written material.
Under my own name I am the co-editer of Why I'm Still Married: Women Write Their Hearts Out On Love, Loss, Sex, and Who Does The Dishes, the best-selling anthology of essays about marriage published by Penguin, and the author of two well-received memoirs, In Sickness & In Health: A Love Story and The Pregnancy Project: Encounters With Reproductive Therapy.
I have taught writing and literature at the Harvard Business School, the University of New Hampshire, and Boston College. My Ph.D. is in British and American Literature from the University of Utah and my B.A. in English is from Oberlin College. I have been featured on NPR, Sundays with Liz Walker and awarded grants from the Massachusetts Cultural Council.
