I am a writer and an editor. I am a semi-retired medical manuscript editor, editing articles for medical journals, and for pleasure and less money, I am also an editor of other writers' stories. I founded and managed an online literary journal about memoir, called Run to the Roundhouse, Nellie, which is no longer publishing; I previously edited the print journal, Lifeboat: A Journal of Memoir. I lived in NYC for many years, and on the Bowery from 1978 to 1991. Now I live in Maine.
