I am a freelance writer and editor in New York with more than 20 years experience. I am a contributing editor at Teachers College’s Alumni Magazine, TC Today. My journalism has appeared in The New Yorker, The New York Times, and U.S. News & World Report. My essays have appeared in Newsday, Smithsonian and Family Fun.
I have published ten short stories, in Confrontation (twice), Northwest Review, Pank (twice) the Laurel Review (twice), Concho River Review, RE:AL and Pacific Review. I have completed a novel, “Ghost Road,” a multigenerational story of three families and their adjacent properties on a hill in a small fictional town in the Canadian maritimes. Spanning the 20th century, the story follows the reverberations of a single conversation and kiss that occur in the early part of the century to a daughter’s discovery of her father’s betrayal at the century’s close. There are many characters in the novel, but its main focus is the place itself, a rustic, cold, indescribably gorgeous town that continues to draw on the character’s affections long after they’ve exhausted their patience for their familial connections to it.
My corporate clients include Bristol Myers Squibb, American Express and Deloitte.
I graduated with honors from Harvard College in 1984 with a bachelor’s degree in History & Literature and received a master’s degree from Columbia School of Journalism in 1988. In 1984, while working as a beat reporter at the Anniston Star in Anniston, Alabama, I shared an Associated Press First Place award in the category of news features.
