Independent Editorial Consultant

The Association for Talent Development (ATD) is a professional membership organization supporting those who develop the knowledge and skills of employees in organizations around the world. The association was previously known as the American Society for Training & Development (ASTD).

I am an independent book developer, editor, and writer with more than 25 years experience. I offer a full range of professional editing and writing services from complete manuscript rewriting to manuscript review and evaluation in preparation for final copy editing and production. Prior to becoming a freelance writer and editor I served as the Manager of Acquisition and Development for ASTD Press (the publishing division of a non-profit organization located in Alexandria, VA) and was Executive Editor at McGraw-Hill. I am the author of Images of the Southern Writer, an acclaimed book of Southern writer portraits and essays that includes candid, environmental portraits of Tennessee Williams, Eudora Welty, Walker Percy, Cormac McCarthy, William Styron, Erskine Caldwell, Anne Tyler, and dozens of other celebrated Southern writers.
