Publications Management

Manuscript Development

I review book manuscripts in the early development stages for Berrett-Koehler, an independent publisher whose books promote progressive and socially responsible approaches to business. Books I have worked on include:

• Confessions of an Economic Hit Man, a New York Times bestseller

My articles have appeared in media outlets such as The Nation online, Alternet, Bitch, the San Francisco Examiner, and the San Francisco Chronicle. The following are selected clips:
