About Me
I worked as an Acquisitions Editor for over a decade at two major publishers, Random House and Grand Central Publishing, before becoming a freelance editor.
I'm the author of two essay collections, Odd Type Writers and Dancing With Mrs. Dalloway (Penguin/Perigee).
I’m also a co-founder of an editorial firm called the Pub Pros.
