What I’ve Worked on

In my sixteen-year editorial career I’ve worked on a variety of publishing projects, including trade books, academic references, and self-published works. Titles I’ve edited or provided editorial services to as a freelancer have been published by University of Toronto Press, Wiley, Kogan Page, New World Library, Casemate Publishers, Menasha Ridge Press, Trinity University Press, Rowman & Littlefield, Apollo Publishers, Wonderwell (now an imprint of Greenleaf Book Group), Rosenfeld Media, and others. I’ve also worked with many authors who have self-published.

With the exception of editing translated works, I focus exclusively on nonfiction book projects. I’m a happy omnivore, and I really enjoy working on different genres and topics. I’ve worked on narrative nonfiction, memoirs, prescriptive nonfiction, essays collections, guidebooks, humor titles, and criticism. Subjects have spanned a wide range, including history, business, leadership, sports, literature, relationships, satire, film, self-help, law, and more. I’ve edited works translated from Czech, German, and Danish.

Here’s a selection of books I either edited or provided editorial assistance to.
