I've published academic essays, but the bulk of my writing has been for a lay audience, focussing on LGBTQ+ and genderqueer parenthood. I published a blog, Lesbian Dad, from around 2006 to the early twenty-teens, generating over 1,000 posts and multiple accolades, noted on the blog's About page. The dialog that emerged from its community of readers and fellow travelers benefitted me immeasurably: as a writer, a parent, and a genderqueer person. 

The blog’s title came from my essay “Confessions of a Lesbian Dad,” which appeared in the Lambda Literary Award–nominated anthology Confessions of the Other Mother (Beacon, 2006). My earlier academic publications were in the then-emerging field of LGBTQ+ studies and in feminist pedagogy and popular culture.

As a freelance editor, I've worked on multiple book-length projects, including several doctoral dissertations, tip to tail. Two went on to be published, one by Routledge in Jewish Studies, and another by Duke University Press in Cultural Geography. I've also edited a memoir by a prominent Buddhist scholar and environmental activist.

In staff positions in higher education as a Senior Writer, and the nonprofit sector as a Writer and a Communications Director, I’ve edited a wide range of work: brochures, newsletters, press releases, grant proposals and reports, website content, annual reports, the works. Audiences have ranged from educational administrators to civic and philanthropic grant managers to the general public.

Professional memberships: Editorial Freelancers Association, ACES: The Society for Editing, and the Freelancers Union.

While I'm no longer taking on editing clients, I continue to work as writer: both professionally, in Development at the American Civil Liberties Union of Northern California, and personally, on a book-length creative nonfiction manuscript.
