Over the past 25 years, I have edited thousands of documents ranging from one-page brochures and fact sheets to technical manuals that encompass hundreds of pages and dozens of authors. My magazine editing experience includes all issues of Penn State Agriculture magazine published between 1998 and 2004. My book editing credits include multiple editions of Penn State's Tree Fruit Production Guide and Agronomy Guide,  the Penn State Pesticide Education Manual, The Penn State Master Gardener Manual, and A History of Penn State's Food Science Department by Dr. Manfred Kroger.

The titles below are a small sampling of completed documents I have edited and produced. For additional examples of my editorial work, or to see marked up editorial manuscripts, please contact me
