I am a writer and editor with 30 years of experience working
with books, magazines, academic journals, and other publications.

I have held staff positions at the University of Chicago Press, Harvard, and In These Times magazine, among other outlets, and my freelance clients include a range of academic, trade, and political publishers. I specialize in health, well-being, progressive politics, philosophy, and assorted academic miscellanea. I also take on occasional fiction, creative nonfiction, and poetry projects. Resume available upon request.

I was raised by early techies—programmers who ran their own BBS in the mid-80s. My stepfather built my first computer from spare parts lying around the house, c. 1991, so I could write papers during high school. I began in publishing during a year off before college, when I worked in production and proofing for the software-focused Osborne McGraw-Hill in Berkeley. Moving fully to the editorial side, I worked with several publishers and magazines, including The Baffler and In These Times, while attending St. John’s College in Santa Fe and the University of Chicago. After undergrad, I considered, and gained acceptance to, graduate programs in the history of philosophy. By that point, however, I’d found my home.

A member of the American Society of Journalists and Authors and the Association of Health Care Journalists, I served as chair of the Editorial Freelancers Association’s Boston chapter for two years before moving to Brooklyn and then the Hudson Valley. I recently bought and am delighted to be spending my free time working on a fixer-upper in Kingston, New York.
