I'm working on a proposal for a memoir titled "Where Is Luv? A Teenager's Diary of Hope, Passion, and Total Confusion," about my unusual adolescence living in Europe in the late 1960s. My first-person essays have appeared on the covers of Salon.com, Skirt.com, in the Boston Globe Magazine, the Westchester Journal News, Zone 3, and other magazines and newspapers. My essay, "Moon Fever: An Apollo 11 Flashback," was selected for inclusion in the anthology Perspectives on Modern World History: The Apollo 11 Moon Landing (Greenhaven Press, 2011).

I wear different hats, including writer, editor, and psychotherapist (MSW). I facilitate "Write It Like It Is" experiential workshops and groups for writers who want to tap in to their authentic inner voice without censors, editors, or critics. I have 27 years' experience as a freelance editor and have worked in-house at Houghton Mifflin and other publishing houses. My services include manuscript consultation (nonfiction, personal essay), developmental editing, copyediting, and proofreading. I also am available to consult to writers' groups (new and established) about group issues (structural or interpersonal). Specialties in psychology, self-help, music, theater, arts. Creative, insightful, compassionate, accurate, quick. Please visit my website for details.
