Overview
I have years of experience in the publishing industry, designing and typesetting books for both individual clients and for top publishing houses large and small, such as Bantam-Dell, Kensington, Bloomsbury/Walker, and Doubleday/Broadway. The titles I have designed cover a wide range of subjects in both fiction and non-fiction, including suspense, science fiction, and serious fiction as well as business, history, theater, music, reference, cookbooks, textbooks, how-to, current affairs, science, and biography.

Work experience
Self-employed
As a freelancer, I have designed (and written up design specifications for) book interiors and/or done typesetting for numerous book publishers, including (among others) Bantam-Dell, Barricade Books, Bloomsbury/Walker, Cambridge University Press, Camino Books, Doubleday/Broadway, Fairchild Books, Holmes & Meier, Intrepid Traveler, Kensington, Northwestern University Press, Other Press, Peter Lang, Rodale, Smith & Kraus, and St. Martin’s. The titles cover a wide range of subjects in both fiction and non- fiction, including suspense, science fiction, and serious fiction as well as business, history, theater, music, reference, cookbooks, how-to, current affairs, and biography. A number of titles were illustrated, either including photo inserts (some grayscale, some four-color), or illustrated throughout.
Bantam-Dell Publishing Group
While at Bantam Dell, I designed, wrote up design specifications, and oversaw the composition of more than thirty titles. I also hired and coordinated the work of freelance illustrators as projects required, and selected case materials and designed and typeset the spine dies for hardcover titles.
