Director of an office guiding tenure-line faculty to scholarly book and article publishing at university presses and first-tier academic journals.

I've worked at Georgetown since 1997, and taught Restoration and eighteenth-century literature and nonfiction as a literary form in the English Department before moving to this role. Before Georgetown I taught courses and/or publishing seminars at the University of Virginia, UNC-Chapel Hill, and Duke. My first two books were published by Farrar, Straus & Giroux.

As an extension of my interest in international scholarly publishing, I recently obtained a grant to travel, along with the Director of Georgetown University Press, to visit university and trade presses in New Delhi, India, and to attend the Jaipur Literature Festival. Our future plans include a similar trip to China.

PROFESSIONAL MEMBERSHIPS

Life member of the American Society of Eighteenth-Century Studies; member of SHARP (Society for the History of Authorship, Reading, and Publishing); member of the Authors Guild, and journalist member of The National Press Club, where I serve on the Book and Author Committee and chaired its 2008 Book Fair.

MEDIA COVERAGE

My two previous books (as Carole Fungaroli) were discussed or featured in The New York Times, Time, Newsweek, Forbes, Fortune, Entertainment Weekly–where the first book was a “Title of the Week”–and other newspapers and magazines; appearances on CNN, NPR, The Early Show, “60 Minutes,” and other national media.

RADIO HOST, PRODUCER, GUEST

I currently host and produce “The Georgetown University Forum,” distributed through NPR and also heard on Armed Forces Radio. Past radio experience includes work as a regional host at WUNC-FM, home of the Southeastern Bureau of National Public Radio, where I worked while a visiting scholar at UNC-Chapel Hill. In Washington, DC I was deputy executive producer of “From the National Press Club” for XM; I have been a guest on One Union Station, Morning Edition, and Talk of the Nation for NPR.

LITERARY AGENT ADVISING

I also guide authors to work with literary agents, and authors with exceptional credentials from outside Georgetown can pay the university to work with me on nonfiction book proposals. Since 2006 I've worked with scores of authors. Here are two highlights: one of our nonfiction authors recently had a cover story about his book in Foreign Policy and is being represented by William Morris Endeavor, and a fiction author became the #1 debut novelist on Amazon last fall after I found an agent for him at Trident Media.
