My professional editing experience entails trade, academic, and freelance publishing. I have 25 years of professional teaching experience at the levels of secondary education (Woodside High School, Woodside, California), higher education (College of New Rochelle, New Rochelle; Pace University, New York; University of Washington, Seattle), and continuing education (Fordham University, New York; 92nd Street Y, New York). All my years as literature, writing, and language arts educator contribute to my editing expertise. I have a PhD in English and MFA in Fiction, both from the University of Washington.<br /><br />My editing projects are enhanced by a teacher's sensibility, which I define as scrupulous attention to structure and mechanics, coupled with sensitivity to the distinct goal and appropriate register of each text. I respect each writer's desire for error-free prose that is not generic.<br /><br />My editing experience&nbsp;is as follows: &nbsp;I solicited, revised, and proofread scholarly and literary essays for two anthologies, <em>Dylan at Play</em> (Cambridge Scholars, 2011), and <em>Tearing the World Apart: Bob Dylan in the 21st Century</em> (University of Mississippi, forthcoming).&nbsp;<br /><br />I solicited, revised, proofread, and copyedited scholarly and creative writing for the print journal, <em>Montague Street: The Art of Bob Dylan</em> (2009-2011), for which I was publisher and editor.&nbsp;<br /><br />As freelance editor, I have specialized in revision and proofreading for ESL graduate students and faculty in the area of finance. In this capacity, I have worked with dissertation material and journal articles. Titles and authors are available upon request.<br /><br />From 1998-1999, I was Editorial Coordinator for Harvard Business School Press, Cambridge. In this position, I assisted with the revision of contracted manuscripts.&nbsp;<br /><br />From 1983-1987, I worked as Editorial Assistant and Assistant Editor for Warner Books, Pinnacle Books,and Avon Books, trade publishers in New York. I solicited, revised, edited, proofread, and copyedited manuscripts and marketing material for &nbsp;publication.
