Biography
I live in New York City, working as a freelance writer and editor. Aside from writing books, I also write articles, speeches, press releases, textbook material, copy for Web sites and blogs, I also do developmental editing of manuscripts, as well as work on materials in areas as diverse as art history, music, medicine and healthcare, law, language, literature and education. As one of the Trustees of the Carnegie Fund for Authors, I evaluate eligibility and vote on grants. I've been a member of Authors Guild since 1986, and I'm on the Board of Governors and Publications Chair of Editorial Freelancers Association. My graduate degree is from the University of Pennsylvania, and my undergraduate liberal arts degree from Ohio State University. I studied in Mexico junior year, and over the years I've audited courses at Columbia, Tel Aviv University, and Reading University in England (the Shakespeare course in Stratford-upon-Avon), among others. My latest book is Safe Conduct, and I am currently working on Social Media: the Revolution in Communication.
