Overview
I'm an expert editor, book doctor, ghost writer, market researcher, and Oprah-recommended novelist. For an overview of my editorial methods, please watch my videos on LinkedIn.
I have held full-time editorial positions at Macmillan, Longman, Pearson, and Prentice Hall. I formerly served as the director of market research and development at W.H. Freeman and Worth Publishers (now under the Macmillan umbrella), where I was also the publisher for the geography list. In the course of my career I have worked on projects by Robert Shiller, Olivier Blanchard, Paul Krugman, Steve Levitt, Ray Fair, Karl (Chip) Case, N. Gregory Mankiw, Marilyn Stokstad, Philip Kotler, Lydia Pulsipher, Joel Waldfogel, John Bean, Richard Schaefer, James Gross, Adam Anderson, Toni Schmader, Bridgette Martin Hard, James Shulman, Deborah Hutton, Jean Robertson, and Sarah Grison, among other luminaries in their fields.
Because I am a writer as well as an editor, I understand not only how to edit but also how it feels to be edited. My goal is to bring out your voice and expertise and to make your book the best it can be. The cornerstone of my editing is respect for the author's words and vision. You will find me responsive, reliable, and professional.
