I have read in a range of venues: conferences, universities, libraries, community centers, bookstores, and bars. In addition, I have spoken about book editing, publishing, and other professional issues to MFA students and writers’ conferences. Education: Duke University (B.A.) and The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (M.A.). The editor in chief of St. Martin’s Press and a New Jersey native, I grew up in Madison and now live with my family in Ridgewood.
