AS A PACKAGER, I SPECIALIZE IN CRASH PROJECTS. Publishers have turned to me when they have a late manuscript and a date at the printer in two weeks or two months. My years of experience in publishing (from the sales department at Berkley Books, to acquisitions editor at Dodd, Mead, to production editor at Crown, to managing editor at Bantam) ensure that I understand the needs of the publisher and the marketing department and that I am expert in the production process.

AS AN AGENT, I RESPOND TO AUTHOR SUBMISSIONS WITHIN THREE WEEKS. I am currently working on behalf of a select group of clients. I am especially looking for nonfiction that is intellectual/speculative, political, travel oriented, or business oriented. As for fiction, I am looking for thrillers, women's romance (historical or contemporary), and literary novels. Writers should study the market. Please visit my Web site. All submissions should be e-mail attachments.

I have worked in trade book publishing for over thirty years.

For fiction, please submit the full manuscript. For non-fiction, please submit a synopsis, table of contents, and a few chapters. All submissions should be electronic. I will always respond. I am looking for strong commercial fiction, either literary, thrillers, or romance. As for nonfiction, I am looking for thoughtful, intellectual books, biographies, and personal narratives involving escapades or travel. I am also looking for memoirs that show transformation and by writers who have a platform.
