Mark Bloom Edited Three Published Books
Many of our clients don’t know that Mark used to work for Lark Books, a subsidiary of Sterling Publishing in New York. Even though Lark Books has now downsized its way to insignificance, Mark retains his skills and interest in editing books for publication. As a result, he has a freelance business here in Asheville.
How he finds the time to edit books while completing all his writing and editing work for Ray Access is a bit of a mystery, but he mentioned once that he prefers working to sleeping. However he does it, 2014 marked a high point in his freelance book-editing business. Here are reviews and more for each of the three books:
Not Lost for Lookin’
“Not Lost for Lookin’ captures the shimmering light off a Sierra trout stream and examines the dust of generations collected in the back of a gold-rush bar. Pairs well with a dusty bottle of bourbon.” –Alex Stephens, fisherman
“Lexi Boeger takes us through a great modern take on an old western/ghost yarn, complete with incredible descriptions of the sierras and love for the mysteries they hold. Her characters are vivid, raw and compelling.” – Julie A Rohrer
Other People’s Money
“Foundations need not be mysterious, but this novel about grant-making by someone who knows foundations well clearly belongs on the mystery-lover’s bookshelf.” –Dorothy Ridings, former president, Council on Foundations
“Elizabeth Russell has crafted a compelling and most intriguing narrative sure to make the reader smile with satisfaction and delight.” –Mark Constantine, author of Wit and Wisdom: Unleashing the Philanthropic Imagination
Farmer & Chef Asheville
“As a producer for Chopped, I saw chefs from all over the country add bits of Southern food wisdom into their cooking. This cookbook, like Asheville itself, has a unique and progressive, but deeply rooted Southern sensibility. The recipes, essays, and rich photos will continue to inspire you.” –Kirstin Moburg Davis, producer, “Chopped,” Food Network
“I grew up visiting my grandparents in the Asheville of the 1980s, an era when the best meals could only be found in a home kitchen. My how things have changed. With gorgeous ingredients and mountain food traditions in mind, talented chefs and brewers have quietly built a vibrant food and drink culture that rivals any city in the South.” –Hunter Lewis, editor, Cooking Light
