I've been a professional editor and writer for 35 years, mostly for magazines and newspapers. For the past decade, I've been editing and writing books. I began practicing meditation when I was 17, so my work tends to be focussed on mindfulness and meditation. I'm also a specialist in Sun Tzu's Art of War along with my collaborator James Gimian. The Art of War work brings together my experience as a journalist in Washington with my background in contemplative practice. Jim and I teach workshops based on our work. They're a blast. I am the editorial director of a new website called mindful.org, which may become a magazine under my editorial direction in 2012. It focuses on secular meditation practice: mindfulness. The coolest part of my job for Mindful is travelling around the country and meeting people who are applying mindfulness to everything from childbirth to fire fighting to music performance to early childhood education. That formed the basis for the anthology I did, The Mindfulness Revolution. You'll see more work from me in that vein. I'm also interested in how Buddhist practice can apply to various difficulties in life, whether one becomes a Buddhist or not. In the Face of Fear is an anthology about dealing with uncertainty, panic, and fear. I'm working on anthology on anger. For decades, I've also taught writing at the university level, in adult education, and as a mentor and developmental editor for professionals writing books based on their expertise. I may do a book on long-form writing and the art of critique--how criticism shapes and builds your effectiveness as a writer.
