Overview
As a project manager and editor with over fifteen years of experience managing content development for publishers, professional associations, and non-profits, I know how to bridge the gap between concept and finished product. I love the big picture planning and the focus on details that doing so requires.
I have developed content for a wide range of educational titles--from introductory textbooks and study guides to professional development books. I have an understanding of both the market requirements and the needs of the intended audience and how to meet both. I enjoy the collaborative process of working with authors and editors and guiding a project through the editing process to publication.
