Previous Projects
In no particular order, here are some interesting books I’ve either fact checked or copy edited, or worked on in some other way.
Marshall Cavendish Benchmark
In the past several years, I’ve fact checked a number of books for Marshall Cavendish Benchmark. Since 2008, I have also been copy editing for them. Here are a few authors I've had the privilege to work with.
Kathryn Hinds

Of all the books I’ve worked on with Kathryn, the one that moved me the most was Life in the Medieval Muslim World. The book on Faith inspired mine, and the series on the whole offered me greater understanding of Muslim history.
Rebecca Stefoff

Among the books of Rebecca's I've enjoyed working on are those in the
Secrets of the Supernatural series. These books were interesting series to fact check. Besides fueling my book addiction habit, the series balances critical-thinking skills with folklore:
Another series that will be published in 2009 discusses Human Origins. So far I've fact checked three of the four book series. I look forward to sharing the series with my own children.

A Search of African American Life, Achievement and Culture is a book I’m proud to have worked on. It is informative and fun. John took twenty years assembling information on artists, musicians, leaders, and writers that contributed to our great nation. |
Ben Mack

Ben is a client that always brings me interesting work and does not hesitate in challenging me. I adore working with him.

The last challenge was cutting Poker Without Cards: A Consciousness Thriller in half for an iPhone version. His books make me think, as well as inspire. He’s also a great deal of fun to talk to. Think Two Products ahead was a fun edit as well as an interesting read. |
