For more than twenty-five years, I worked as an editor at trade publishing companies including Harmony Books, a division of Crown Publishers; William Morrow/Hearst Books; Broadway Books and William Morrow, an imprint of HarperCollins Publishers.

Most recently, I was Vice President and Publisher of William Morrow Cookbooks.  Prior to joining Morrow, I was Vice President, Executive Editor at Broadway Books, where I developed Broadway’s award-winning cookbook program. Deborah Madison, Patricia Wells, Jean-George Vongerichten, Emeril Lagasse, Dorothy Gaiter and John Brecher, Leslie Sbrocco, Sharon Tyler Herbst and Ron Herbst, Cheryl and Bill Jamison, Sally Schneider, Patti LaBelle and Tom Douglas are among some of the many authors whose books I edited and published.

I also published many successful non-fiction and illustrated titles outside the cookbook category, including SuperFoods RX and SuperFoods HealthStyle by Steve Pratt, M.D. and Kathy Matthews, Vera Wang on Weddings by Vera Wang, Before and After: Eating Well after Gastric Bypass Surgery by Susan Maria Leach, The Girl’s Guide to Starting Your Own Business by Caitlin Friedman and Kim Yorio and Cooked: From the Streets to the Stove, From Cocaine to Foie Gras by Jeff Henderson.

I work for authors, publishers and literary agents on project development, proposal writing, structural and line editing and manuscript consultation.

Areas of interest and expertise:  Business, cooking, crafts, diet, fitness, health and lifestyle, gastronomy, illustrated books, memoir, non-fiction narrative, popular psychology, reference and wine.

While my professional scope is broad, I do not review, consult or edit works of fiction.
