Summary

I've been involved in all aspects of the publishing industry, as an author, editor, and publisher of Italian, French, and Spanish language books for the adult who loves travel. Marketing is now my chief occupation, but I am also continuing to foster new works and also write a monthly syndicated blog. My language books are promoted on all major social media platforms and I would be happy to share my secrets! My language learning method is put to work via Zoom lessons based on my "Conversational Italian for Travelers" books. As both a physician and a writer, would be able to critique and edit medically related articles.

Details

Coming soon in 2024: "Conversational Spanish for Travelers to Latin America, Just the Important Phrases."
