ACADEMIC PUBLISHING

Lisa Moore has worked with numerous scholars to bring their academic projects to a satisfying conclusion, helping to make even the most complex research areas read effortlessly on the page. On topics as varied as immigration studies, the AIDS epidemic in sub-Saharan Africa, Ottoman textiles, and medieval history, Lisa has helped her authors find their voice and connect with readers in their scholarly field.

“Lisa is humble about her skills and would never say what I know to be true about her: she is one of the most efficient development editors in publishing. She is able to size up the needs of a project quickly and well. She creates doable, practical revision plans that authors embrace and are able to implement. Lisa is my #1, go-to D.E.”

~Lyn Uhl, Executive Editor, University of California Press

TRADE PUBLISHING

Christopher Bennem draws on a publishing career that includes award-winning contributions at trade imprints Ballantine & Del Rey to provide insight and guidance for writers on projects as diverse as fantasy, memoir, and business self-help. In addition to manuscript work, he also leads workshops, coordinates retreats, and conducts one-on-one consultations in our Glen Hollow space in the Finger Lakes.

“Christopher helped us with our first novel, Things They Buried, before we ever visited Glen Hollow. We'd worked with beta readers and other editors previously, but Christopher was able to zero in on some key pain points nobody else was seeing. His input helped us turn up the tension, eliminate points of confusion, and navigate potentially sensitive topics. As with any good editor, it's not all knuckle-rapping. He also helped us identify strong areas, so we didn't change what was already working.”

~ Amanda K. King, Author, Things They Buried

HIGHER EDUCATION PUBLISHING

Christopher and Lisa both have extensive careers in Higher Education Publishing with numerous award-winning and best-selling text and technology projects to their credit. Whether you are looking for market development, editorial development, digital development, or a combination of all three, Lisa and Christopher can work with you individually, or as a team, to deliver market-leading quality on the most challenging projects in disciplines across the humanities, social sciences, and business.

“Lisa Moore is one of the finest editors I have worked with in my long career. She understands the complicated process of publication from early concept and development to the finished book. She keeps things moving with energy and a sense of humor. She builds on your ideas but doesn't hesitate to tell you when you're off base. She gets things done.”

~Dana Gioia, Former California Poet Laureate and Chairman of the National Endowment for the Arts

“As the textbook moved fully into the twenty-first century, Christopher identified both generic principles and new communication evolutions. As a result, A Writer’s Resource, now in its sixth edition, continues to help countless students to become independent writers and thinkers.”

~Elaine P. Maimon, President, Governor’s State University
