CURRENT INTERESTS:

I am very strong as an editor and like editing more than writing. As a true generalist, I found academics too constraining, but have kept my academic contacts. I have also gotten top testimonials from nationally known people for every book I have worked on. Our academic journal is one of the most general and readable in the world. I read about 200 papers a year for it. I teach courses on writing and emphasize readablilty. While most of my current work is popular writing in the business area, I have also recently edited best selling books on the Holocaust and the stock market. I have also been the managing editor for books on Family, Procrastination, Post-Disaster Interventions and Anxiety.
