As a freelance food and travel writer and book editor for about 15 years, I’ve had the opportunity to work on hundreds of publications, from writing books about the Wine Country to proofreading The Dialectic of Enlightenment and everything in between. And, when I’m not socked in with deadlines and sitting in front of my computer on weekends, I’m inclined to agree with friends who think I have one of the best jobs ever. Following are just a handful of the books, articles, and other projects I’ve written.
