Professional Experience: |
|
While I was writing my thesis at Columbia I began working for a literary agency in New York City, where I spent three years. After that I worked for a book packager, and then moved to book clubs, starting with the Better Homes and Garden Book Club and then moving to Book of the Month Club, where I spent 9 years before moving to Warner Books (now Grand Central Publishing) where I was a senior editor. After 2 years I moved to Rodale to publish my own imprint, and then to a dot com, where I developed content business and recruitment content. I was a journalist at Money Media, a financial news service, and began my career as a collaborative writer. I have written or co-written more than 30 books in the last 15 years, along with articles covering food, Wall Street, and green energy. I am flexible, versatile, and fast. I can help you write a book or a grant proposal, research paper, media releases, or articles.
