About

A journalist and editor of non-fiction works (incl. technical) I, too am a humanist concerned over the survival of our planet and the global protection of its oppressed and disenfranchised whose groups are, of course, too numerous to designate. I feel very pleased to join WiserEarth, and will so appreciate guidance in wading through the taxonomy to reach 1 or 2 goals -- that's all I dare to hope for during my site-learning curve :)

I'm offering my editing skills to this terrific global grassroots system. Hope to meet other editors very quickly.
