In 1985, I took a job as receptionist at a Chicago publications firm and I've worked in publishing ever since. I have particular expertise in the fields of history and education, though I've moved more into fiction the last few years. I also have considerable experience with manuscripts (both fiction and nonfiction) written by non-native English-speakers.
