| Book Editing & Co-authoring
Do you have a good idea for a book, but need help writing and finding a publisher? Richard can help!
Examples:
 Richard co-authored "Prefurbia" with Rick Harrison, a book that presents Rick’s innovative planning concepts (www.rhsdplanning.com). Richard also worked with Rick to produce a comprehensive book proposal, which was sent to more than a dozen literary agents and several publishers. Three agents responded with offers to represent the book. The book will be published in 2008 by Sustainable Land Development International.

 Richard edited two book-length essays: “Architecture in Minnesota at the Turn of the Century,” by Alan K. Lathrop and “Purcell & Elmslie, Architects,” by Mark Hammons. The University of Delaware Press published the essays in 1994 in "Life on the Upper Mississippi, 1890-1915: Minnesota 1900," in conjunction with an exhibition of the same name at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts. Michael Conforti, general editor of the book and curator of the exhibition, said, “[Richard] was tireless in his effort to direct the essays and he succeeded in every way, making them both readable as well as cogent. Each one is now a serious contribution to the field.” (complete letter from Michael Conforti available from Richard on request) |
