Literary Editing

I edit (and publish) short fiction for The Fabulist Magazine.

Journalism

I’m particularly proud of my very first editing job, on issue No. 22 of Planet Drum Foundation’s ecological journal Raise the Stakes. The topic focus was sustainable agriculture, and included some of the first national coverage of CSAs (community-sponsored agriculture).

I edited and published everything on The Daylighter from 2018 to 2020.

I was a page editor at SFGate.com during the early days of the Internet, from 1998-2001.

Shareable

I do pickup editing for Shareable.net when they need help with articles or essays by nonprofessional writers, writers whose first language is not English, and academics not used to writing for general-interest audiences. These are pretty heavy lifts that often require restructuring, deep line edits and peppy headline options. I don’t always do final proofs and headlines.
