College Textbook Publishing

College textbook publishers re-group all the time. In the nineties I was Project Editor with Harcourt Brace in Fort Worth, Texas. I got used to managing 8 to 10 titles of foreign-language and social science books at various stages of production at one time. Perhaps hard to imagine, but bookish work can turn into quite a wild ride. It takes many specialists to bring a book together, from the writers and developers, across the intricacies of artistic design, to the final stage of proofs from the printers. Let's say, my job was in the eye of the storm, keeping all players coordinated, happy, and well on track of a relentless schedule. Remember the BBD? The bound book date? Believe me, it was chiseled in stone. That's why I was glad to "retire" to freelancing. So I have been juggling book projects under my own directives.

Copyediting

After leaving my position as Project Editor at Harcourt Brace, I took on freelance projects. My specialites are social sciences, liberal arts, pharmacy (5 years with Annuals of Pharmacotheraphy), and foreign languagese (German, Spanish).

In editing, I am a neat freak, and my eyes have been trained to spot a typo from a mile away. These are some of the books I have worked on:

• Bell, Environmental Psycholorgy, 4th Edition
• Hagerman, Fragil X Syndrome
• Garraty, A Short History of the American Nation
• Boyte, Building America
• Paxton, Europe in the Twentieth Century, 3rd Edition
• Deiner, Infants and Toddlers
• Sterling/Warner, Thresholds: Literature - Based Composition
• McLemore/Romo, Racial and Ethnic Relations in America
• Gregg Barak, Integrating Criminologies
• Yeates, The North American City, 5th Edition
• Chistians et al, Media Ethics: Cases and Moral Reasoning, 5th Edition
• Krathwohl, Methods of Education and Social Science Research
• Benedetti, The Actor in You
• McQuade, Harper American Literature, 3rd Edition
• Quimby, Millennial Seduction

Pharmaceutical Publishing

Opportunites come knocking where and when you least expect them. So I hired with Harvey Whitney Books in the year 2000 (until 2005) to work on high-caliber pharmaceutical articles. Aside from scientific publishing conventions I also learned more than I wanted to know about adverse drug reactions and interactions. My favorite category were the case studies. This job made me appreciate a good work environment, scientific abstracts, and my (can not take it for granted) physical health. I stayed with the Annals of Pharmacotherapy for five years until we relocated to Arizona.
