Overview

An editor with more than 25 years of experience in illustrated book publishing, with a strong focus on the performing arts, crafts, collecting, cookbooks, and history. Adept at taking projects through every step of the editorial process, from concept and structure to photo selection, copy editing, fact checking/proofreading, and overall editing.

I have worked with every major publisher and with several museums, in addition to institutions such as the Library of Congress, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, and PBS to create definitive catalogues and books on various subjects. A wide range of prominent authors include Martin Scorsese, Peter Bogdanovich, Laurence Maslon, Billie Jean King, and Mary Berry. From film and theater to crafts, cooking, and world history, my passion is creating useful, beautiful, and informative books that become the definitive work on a particular subject.
