I write food and travel articles for newspapers and magazines, and I edit manuscripts ranging from cookbooks to academic monographs. I have also written book introductions, brochures, text for Web sites, and other kinds of copy, mostly in the general field of food. I'm the restaurant critic for the Sacramento News and Review, a weekly paper (hence the lack of a picture--I have to stay anonymous lest local chefs are trying to spot me) and I write regional travel articles frequently for magazines including Sunset, Via, and Sactown. My work has also appeared in such publications as Cooking Light, All You, the San Francisco Chronicle, the Washington Post, and others. I also develop and test recipes for publication. I am an experienced developmental and copy editor as well, both for publishers and for private clients. [less]
