I work with ESL/EFL publishers to produce quality instructional materials. I’m the co-author of Tips for Teaching Culture: Practical Approaches to Intercultural Communication published by Pearson Longman as well as a co-author of the Oxford University Press series Q: Skills for Success. In addition to writing, I work as a development editor. That means that I assist authors in taking their initial ideas and turning them into completed manuscripts, helping the writers create texts to suit the needs of the publisher. Here is a list of books that I’ve edited.
Most of my development editing work has been for Cambridge University Press and for McGraw-Hill. I’ve also written reviews or participated in focus groups for Oxford University Press, the University of Michigan Press, and for earlier incarnations of Pearson Longman and Heinle Cengage.
As a teacher and academic coordinator at intensive English programs, I created many courses and designed curricula over a fifteen-year period. I have also worked in curriculum development as part of my consulting practice. I’ve worked with electronic delivery and online instruction, giving advice to GlobalEnglish.com, DynEd International, and Laureate Education, Inc.
