I also aided some of these writers with their subsequent books, including Wallace's Infinite Jest and Saunders' CivilWarLand in Bad Decline. My magazine editing won many National Magazine awards, and my own I published fiction has won awards as well. In addition, I’ve taught writing everywhere from Syracuse’s MFA program to New York City public high schools, so whatever level writers are at, I can meet them there and help them to flourish. For the past five years, I have freelance edited books, often working with agents. I am currently a Contributing Editor of Harper's."
