Professional Experience

A non-fiction and short fiction writer, I've published three books for women on sex and relationships, mental health, and the aging of Gen-X, appeared in two short story collections, and written for the last ten years for newspapers and magazines about everything from heated elections to hot trends in art and entertainment. I also have significant experience in marketing and book publishing as a senior editor, marketing manager and publicist. I've worked in academic and trade houses, acquiring, developing and marketing projects, as well as one-on-one with promising writers who need their projects finessed.
