My Tags:	books daughters editor fiction journalist magazines media new york newspapers nonfiction novels oakland private school publishing writer
About Me:	I am an editor, journalist, and book consultant living in the San Francisco Bay Area. In addition to developing books and book proposals, I also edit op-ed columns for nationally syndicated writers from both the left and the right. I was a senior editor at Brill's Content magazine (RIP), the special sections editor for the Los Angeles Times, and columns editor for Literary Mama. I teach publishing-industry seminars for Mediabistro and have worked with publishers including Seal Press, Counterpoint Books, Soft Skull Press, Avalon Publishing Group, and Random House.
How I de-stress:	Hot baths, girlfriend get-togethers, meditation, chilling with my girls
Best advice I've gotten:	Your daughters will benefit for having a mother who is commited to living a big life.
