After graduating from Sarah Lawrence College, I was a researcher, editor, and freelance writer for Esquire, Cavalier (a Fawcett Publication) and other magazines interviewing Philip Roth, Lotte Lenya, Günter Grass and Anthony Quinn among others.

In the mid-Sixties, I was the American Correspondent for the German monthly Twen and spent several years in West Berlin. When I returned to New York, I continued freelance editing and writing. I now live in Ojai, California, continue independent editing and conduct writing workshops.
