With 23 years of National Geographic Travel Publishing experience, I offer top-notch writing and editing for clients who demand the best in the field. I have edited hundreds of books and written four. My clients include book publishers, newspapers, magazines, blogs, and advertisers, including National Geographic, the Los Angeles Times, the London Telegraph, and the Boston Globe. With a master's degree in journalism from the University of Missouri, I am a fiend for accuracy and squeaky clean copy. To round things out, I teach travel writing and creative nonfiction.

Other Work History

I left my position of 23 years as senior editor with National Geographic Travel Publishing in October 2015 to pursue a freelance life. I oversaw and edited hundreds of travel books, and contributed chapters to many of them (including writing three NatGeo books of my own). I am a contributor to the NatGeo Intelligent Travel Blog, and I also write for other publications including the Los Angeles Times, London Telegraph, and Boston Globe.
