Al Desetta M.A.

I have over 20 years of editorial experience, with outstanding references from publishers, editors, authors, and collaborators. My work has received numerous awards, as well as praise from Jonathan Kozol, Marian Wright Edelman, and Martin Seligman, among others.

As a developmental editor, I help authors conceptualize, shape, rewrite, and correct their manuscripts for submission to publishers. I've worked on book projects for Free Spirit Publishing, McGraw-Hill, Simon and Schuster, Corwin Press, Persea Books, Youth Communication, and National Professional Resources, among others.

I've edited books on a wide range of subjects, including:

* education,

* psychology, mental health, and self-help,

* autobiography and memoir,

* peer and family relations,

* young adult issues,

* sexuality,

* diversity and multiculturalism,

* bereavement, and

* conflict resolution.
