I
joined the IEG after spending more than fifteen
years working as an acquisitions editor
for major publishing companies,
including Grove Press, Macmillan, Bantam
Books, and Pocket Books/Simon &
Schuster. I edit adult nonfiction and
fiction in equal measure. Currently, I
divide my time between co-authoring and
editing, and I work selectively for
writers, agents, and major publishing
houses.
I’m
available for developmental editing,
line-editing, proposal development, and
more general writing, editing and
publishing consultation.
I’ve worked
with many best-selling and award-winning
authors including, Gary Snyder, Wendell
Berry, James Salter, Stephen King, Mary
Higgins Clark, Ann Rule, Jeffery Deaver,
Bev Marshall, and James Swain.
Areas of
particular interest for me include
narrative nonfiction (memoir and
history, especially), health,
psychology, and current events. I edit
many types of fiction, but especially
enjoy working with commercial literary
fiction, mysteries and thrillers.
(Sorry: I don’t edit science fiction or
fantasy).
Recent
successes include editing The Great
American Detox Diet by Alex Jamieson
(Rodale, 2005) and co-authoring Ask
Me Again Tomorrow by Olympia Dukakis
(HarperCollins, 2003), the best-selling
memoir by the Academy Award-winning
actress.
I’m happy to
provide references (industry and author)
on request, as well as a copy of my full
resume. For any questions, including my
rates, please contact me by
email
or phone.
