I am a freelance writer, editor, photo researcher, project manager, and book packager with more than 25 years of experience in the field. Whether you need me to edit or proofread deadline-driven copy, write a short article or an entire book, or help with all of the services that go into creating a successful publication, I can handle the job. I have helped create more than 400 books, newsletters, and other publications for clients since 1994. I’m also the author of many Vault Career Guides (Accounting, Consulting, Healthcare Management, Hedge Funds, Information Technology, Internet & Social Media, Law, and Pharmaceuticals & Biotech), as well as many titles from Mason Crest (including those in the Careers in the Building Trades, Careers With Earning Potential, and Cool Careers in Science series). In addition to working as a freelance writer and editor, I’m the founder of College & Career Press.
