Bio
Kimberly Litster-Harrell
I had the pleasure of working with Tony at Kaplan Professional during a time of tremendous organizational growth.Tony is highly skilled at building consensus, navigating through uncertainty, and communicating effectively with all levels of staff, including board members, and other positions of leadership. Tony made the processes of author and peer-review management seem effortless, and I was impressed by his ability to summarize a full spectrum of author comments and suggestions into a cohesive, organized development plan. Tony's strong project management abilities meant that multi-tiered projects were managed and led from start to finish on deadline and within budget requirements. I would love an opportunity to work with Tony again and recommend his work highly.

Tony is a talented editor for many reasons, including his thorough understanding of the author/editor relationship, his keen editorial eye, and his excellent time-management and organizational skills. However, the key to Tony's success is his unique ability to tap into his creativity while also keeping the overriding business objectives in mind. This balance allows Tony to develop content and produce products that are both market-driven and revenue-producing. In my many years working with Tony, he always brought this sensibility to his work. It is why he is so good at what he does and why he is so great to work with.
