I'm a journalist, essayist, and author of the memoir The Wild Oats Project, published in twelve countries and eight languages. My jobs have included Contributing Travel Editor at Sunset magazine, Executive Editor of the San Francisco city magazine 7x7, and a stint as an award-winning food columnist for Philadelphia Weekly. My work has appeared in The New York Times, Atlantic, Poets & Writers, Oprah Magazine, and others, and has been short-listed in The Best American Essays. I currently edit the Hard Feelings column at the San Francisco Standard. I'm a certified yoga teacher, an auntie, and a believer in the power of women to change the world. My second book, Know When to Run: Memoir of a Bookie's Daughter, is forthcoming from Regalo Press. I'm available to help fellow writers conceive, package, and edit their non-fiction proposals as well as manuscripts for both essays and book-length projects. I split my time between northeastern Pennsylvania and the California Central Coast.
