Many years of editing all sorts of material from fourth-grade textbooks to medical documents, from magazines to web sites. I began working in publishing for an English-language magazine in Madrid in 1963, and later for an art magazine in New York. In 1974 I joined the College Department of Harcourt Brace Jovanovich. I remained in New York after HBJ left, and began to freelance for several of the subcontracting companies that produce school textbooks for the major publishers. (For more information, see the information below and the page about production.)
