Literary Curriculum Vitae

There are books that one writes by oneself, books written in partnership with others, and then there are the books that I have edited, contributed to, or laid out. I have tried to make this a complete list, but I know that I will have forgotten some. I’ve also added a list of some of the places that have published my writing. This is a page that complements the Oliver Editorial Services one.
